"Can Gravitation be Cancelled: An Artistic Experiment by Monica Sand"
2002-04-04 until 2002-04-04
Alvsborgsbron - the major bridge in the harbour
Gothenburg, , SE Sweden

In an artistic project by Monica Sand in collaboration with Chalmers Technical University, Gothenburg, and University of Gothenburg, a 45 meter high swing will be suspended from Alvsborgsbron - the major bridge in the harbour in Gothenburg, Sweden!

Gravitation is one of the boundary conditions of our lifes. We cannot fly or levitate from the earth. We are kept in place like magnets. To swing is one way to oscillate between increased weight and close to zero-weight. Children love to experience this sensation in a swing. Swings are also pendulums, which measure time. Each swing has its own characteristic time, depending on the length of the ropes. By making the swing extremely high the interval between the oscillations becomes longer, which gives more room to experience and observe.

April 4, 6-11 pm. One of the evenings of the swing-project the public will have the opportunity to follow the work with the swing. It will be a meditative performance where the whiz of the swing is all you can hear, the lights from the harbour and the long pendular motions of the swing is what you see in the wide space under the bridge. The ropes and dancers will be illuminated.
