A simple and cool effect. Everything in this show is incredible!
-
So simple and compelling. This made me smile.
-
This piece is unbelievably magical in its simplicity; watching the light go from slivers of gray-scale to full-color disks and back again is hypnotic, in a good way.
-
excellent display of inter-dimensional sensory explorative dynamism. i would love to live in the exhibit and drive the car. ur, maybe not drive the car. would love to hear more about/from einar torshtein.

Watch what happens when the big yellow circle spins through the doorway into the all-yellow room.
-
My favorite exhibit was the one-way color tunnel, marvelous in its simplicity but breathtaking to experience as one walks through.
Have to admit I didn’t realize the Ventilator was part of the exhibit. I thought it was someone’s idea of clearing out stale air or MOMA was trying to save on energy by not turning up the A/C (the air did seem stale on the upper floors).

One must see the dark vs. light feeling, to be bouyed by the meeting of the two. Some see the glass 1/2 full, some 1/2 empty. I think the deep spiritual purple meets the joy of sunny overt life as they pass one through the other, on their inevitable journey, that moment in time we all will face between life and death. I too found the moment when the purple depth crosses the intersection of the yellow room doorway to be totally transfixing; I couldn’t look away.

I would like to see a continuation of the topic

I came to SFMOMA to see the Cornell exhibit, then I found Eliasson I was completely captivated. Coming from an interactive science background, I was completely taken by surprise to see this concept in an art museum. the experience was amazing. What an absolutly wonderous adventure! I am now desperate to see more of his work, no not see, experience!

i liked very much. i think it is an interting pice of art and is somehow a key to our imagination. the contrast of the light is really amazing being reflected on the flooor. the white give us the idea of a regular thing but with a touch of reality and intensity

This one was boring. it just spun around really slowly. it didn’t change colors or do any other cool things!
-
the best part for me is when the two colors meet and when they are completely opposite.
