Tom Shannon anti-grav sculptures

I thought kinetic sculpture was intense until I saw this guy on Ted. Not one of the most pleasant people to watch (he gasps for air every three seconds when he speaks), but nothing less than awesome. Like Jansen, art is science and science is art. At first glance all I see is "cool shit". It's even cooler when you see some of these floating about but when you hear what's he's doing with all this is even cooler. He's envisioned floating islands in the middle of the ocean with their own source of fresh water... or cities unlike those of archigram that can move from location to location replicating their environments smoothly. Now he's working on pendulums to create art.

Don't take my word for it hear him speak!
