Tomás Saraceno: Would you live in a floating city in the sky?

Would you live in a floating city in the sky?

In a mind-bending talk that blurs the line between science and art, Tomás Saraceno exhibits a series of air-inspired sculptures and installations designed to usher in a new era of sustainability, the "Aerocene." From giant, cloud-like playgrounds suspended 22 meters in the air to a balloon sculpture that travels the world without burning a single drop of fossil fuel, Saraceno's work invites us to explore the bounds of our fragile human and terrestrial ecosystems.

A vision emerges where humans live and move among the clouds, propelled not by engines but by the sun’s warmth and the winds. In Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, stars reflected on water inspire a call to rethink how we inhabit Earth. From sculptures built with reused plastic bags, a new era of 'Aerocene' takes shape—one that imagines floating museums, gardens in the sky, and travel powered by air and sunlight. This future invites collective action for a world where the air is clean and free for all.
