I'm sorry I'm acting like a nerd but it's actually a contemporary art not a modern art. 😄 Modern art is between 1860-1970 meanwhile contemporary art literally means current or present. Just a lil fun fact. 😊

Or you could go outside and see things that blow this away. It's called nature.

@UCfvLdMdYMU15KlijjJJQA8Q not everyone has the leisure to go out of their way to see "nature" most people have miles and miles of cities and pollution around them, just getting away from it is already a headache. Now again, STFU you inconsiderate fool.

I thought they really had found a way to make floating material hovering in the air on its own. But it's magnificent nonetheless.

[@liv1522]

Same. I was wondering if it were metal shards with magnets underneath, but if that were the case, it could fall out of the radius if the wind blew hard enough and injure someone. I was kinda disappointed that it's not free floating 😅, but it's still beautiful

We need to come together and create more things like these instead of trying to tear each other apart.

[@jchen8902]

@@jellyfishi_ it's people like you that prioritize conflict over the evolution of human society that is the reason for the troubles tearing us apart. If we could simply work together for the good of our species and planet, things would be so much better, but the differentiation of "us" and "them", the constant misdeeds to each other and goals that focus on defeating the other rather than working together - that is why humanity won't last past the next few generations.
