Omega Centauri 3.9 [Explored]
Sculpture in steel with mirrors called "Omega Centauri 3.9", made in 2018 by Tomás Saraceno (b. 1973) from Argentine. Omega Centauri is the name of the biggest star cluster in the Milky Way visible to the naked eye. The figure 3.9 denotes how much light the astronomical object emits from the Earth’s perspective.
Saraceno often introduce fabulous architectural utopias and questions the lifestyle of modern man. He is inspired by nature’s geometric shapes such as cobwebs, soap bubbles, and cloud formations. He is originally trained as an architect, and his biospheres can be viewed as models for alternative types of social spaces and habitats for people. Taking a metaphorical and poetic approach to serious issues such as Earth´s overpopulation, environment, and migration, Saraceno wishes to point to new potential relationships between culture and nature.
