I came across these photos from Olafur Eliasson‘s latest installation in Beijing, Feelings are facts, over at designboom. I saw a book of his work this winter and liked the more geometric pieces, but love, love, love this one: spaces filled with shifting, saturated colorfog.

When I started Rivers, this was a guiding principle. The first sketches were actually volumetric color fields oozing around with objects and networks floating around in them.
As it developed, I kept these color gradients as they materialized onto surfaces. I’m just a sucker for these palettes (and funny how much the ground here looks like Eliasson’s ceiling above :)
