Aer()雕塑是一个创新的全球开创性的艺术与科学项目，其目标是使用硅气凝胶作为雕塑媒介来创作失重的、空灵的艺术作品。本文讨论的这些片段展示了这种奇异的材料是如何立即对视觉艺术产生兴趣的。i.它有蓝色和橙色的自然颜色，就像天空具有这些颜色一样。ii.奇怪的是，它很轻，但很强，与我们的非物质交流时代相匹配。iii.这种玻璃泡沫没有确定的几何形状--它就像3D X射线。本文将讨论二氧化硅气凝胶的这三个特性。与科学家的密切合作将促进原创悬停在空中的失重雕塑的创作。(C)2004爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Aer()sculpture is an innovative - worldwide pioneering - Art & Science project and its aim is the creation of weightless, ethereal works of art using silica aerogel as the sculptural medium. The pieces discussed in this paper demonstrate the way this exotic material becomes immediately interesting for the visual arts.I. It has a blue and orange natural color for the same reasons that sky has those colors.II. Paradoxically lightweight but strong, this matter matches with our immaterial communication era.III. This foam of glass has no definite geometrical form - it is like a 3-D X-ray.These three properties of silica aerogels will be discussed in this paper. Close collaborations with scientists will facilitate the creation of original weightless sculptures that hover in the air. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
