Looking up
  • The photograph is taken looking up in a room. There are thousands of cables hanging down from the ceiling to the floor, with LEDs attached at regular intervals. The room has mirrors on the walls, on the ceiling and on the floor, so in whatever direction you look you see this. The whole this is programmed to shown different colors changing over time, combined with music and sounds. You can go through the room through a predefined path where the cables are shorter and don't reach the floor, allowing you to walk under them. It gives the illusion that you're in the middle of some infinite arrangement of lights, going on in all directions, sometimes moving, sometimes rotating, or just pulsating with the music. The room is part of a wider art installation called "teamLab SuperNature", in Macau, and it is quite a unique experience.

    Araceae inflorescence

    I think these are fruits from a plant in the family Araceae.

    Pic is from the Singapore Cloud Forest greenhouse.

    The leaves in the background may be from Pilea involucrata.

    Tree with roots (Kuala Lumpur) [OC]
  • I guess that (1) there are enough other roots in the ground, and (2) the root in the air may be able to extract humidity the air, and also water directly when it rains. Not sure what species this is but in some trees roots also have the function to help with stability, like extra stems.
