Walking on the Cloud

Donato Piccolo

Italy

"Walking on the cloud" features legs, built with Plexiglas and servomotors, that move electronically simulating "walking" on a cloud recreated through artificial ultrasonic nebulization. The representation is totally evocative and underlines how mechanics can create possibilities of thought to dream new possibilities for the future.

The exposed legs are artificial and attempt to define human behavior. Each movement is causal of another movement. For every cause there is an effect.
This sculpture was previously exhibited at the Hermitage Museum in Russia in a solo exhibition titled Thinking the Unthinkable.
