What is Next Nature?
With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.

Good thing Olafur Eliasson gets to work big again this summer. I was plain mesmerized by his weather project in the Tate but his indoor museum exhibitions have always somewhat disappointed me (too much science lab experiment and too little experience). His method only works when it is done big so I am delighted he gets another chance this summer.
Golden rule of art: if it aint good, make it bigger.
It looks like the only place you will be able to see all the waterfalls is the end of Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport….or by boats or water taxi. More photos etc. on http://www.newyorkcitywaterfalls.com
