静止沉浮
简单即神迹
对于立陶宛设计师tadaocern 而言，在工作室中的日常创作就如游戏一般。好奇心是一切作品的源泉，“黑色气球”也不例外。设计师花费了大量的时间去连接两只气球，他坚持在工作之余进行尝试，但一直以失败告终。与此同时，他觉得非常神奇，两件平凡无奇的玩具间产生的互斥反应激发了他探索的心。这一经验揭示出许多事物，越是深入其中，就越能感受到“简单即神迹”的真理。
every single day i spend at my studio and my creative process resembles playing. everything i create comes out of curiosity. the same happened with a project ‘black balloons’. for an extensive amount of time i had an idea to connect two balloons. i found a free minute between the other currently run projects, bought two balloons, and got overwhelmed by the result. it was so unpretentious and so magical at the same time! that opposition created by two very simple and playful objects once again brought a unique childlike sense of discovery. this experience uncovers a lot and the more one looks at it, the more it becomes true: “simplicity is genius”.
在第一个项目中，设计师只用了两只气球和两种质量不同的气体：氦气与六氟化硫。之后他还研究了如何使气球在没有任何连接的情况下悬浮在玻璃箱的中央。这些黑色的气球按照顺序被排布于特定的空间，使观看者产生现实在蔓延增扩的错觉。
for the first test i only used two balloons and two different gasses: helium and sulfur hexafluoride – the light and the heavy ones. later on i worked out how to make the balloons float in the middle of a glass tank without connecting them to anything. once placed in a particular space these black objects divide it in to many equal segments and trick viewers mind by giving him a feeling that he’s seeing a rendering from augmented reality.
不仅如此，它们还会与观看者形成各种互动：试想一位观众路过所带来的微风将会对400个气球组成的装置产生怎样的影响，但随后这些气球很快又恢复到最初完美排列的状态，这看上去宛若虚拟世界，比起现实而言，它更像是由电脑产生的图像。
furthermore, they interact with the spectator in so many ways – one can only imagine how a sculpture made out of 400 balloons would react to a wind that one creates just by walking by. and after a second the composition returns to its previous state forming a perfect grid that looks so unrealistic, because this is more common for a computer generated images rather that a reality around us.
