Seaside Suspension: Event for Wind and Waves, 1981 by Stelarc
The body was suspended side-on from a wooden structure on an outcrop of rocks parallel to the horizon, looking out to sea near the shore as the tide was coming in and the weather was overcast with the blustery wind swaying the body back and forth and the waves crashing against the rocks, swaying and splashing it for approximately 20 minutes.

Ira Tviga - Sound-Light (2010)
Tviga’s Sound-Light project was conceived out of the fact that a mere 8% of the earth’s forests are protected, and that destructive logging is threatening vast areas.
She recorded the sounds of the Silger forest along the border of Russia/Finland, “capturing the voices of trees about to be felled—and then made them visible.”

“Temporary Stability” 2012Porcelain, Linen Thread, Masking Tape
Photo by Nicholas Santos
The idea behind this piece is how the feeling of being grounded and stable is temporary and a feeling I get only glimpses of. After about a week and a half the tape started to give and lift off the pedestal surface and the panel was leaning and no longer secure.
