Tomas Saraceno is building up natural micro-systems, human communities, and self-sufficient urban settlements, suspended in the sky. In the artist's dream, these objects would be able to travel with the movements of the clouds in order to overcome the limitations of national borders. The artist makes this utopia possible by building structures based upon rigorous scientific premises and the use of innovative materials. For World Expo, Tomas Saraceno has designed a site-specific flying sculpture in an impressive balloon-shape.
