Traditionally, female representatives are engaged in knitting. But this is not always the case! Among men who are not averse to sitting for several hours with knitting needles or crocheting, one can note the artist Ernesto Neto, who recently created a large-scale knitted installation Crazy hyperculture in the vertigo of the world.
A few weeks ago, on the site Kulturologiya. RF, we talked about a knitted room from an American artist of Polish origin Agata Olek. Her work seemed impressive, large-scale. But only a few days passed, and she was overshadowed by a huge installation by Brazilian Ernesto Neto.
Neto is already known to us for the cozy and fragrant installation Anthropodino, created from wooden beams and fabric. His new work is knitted of woolen threads. However, from the outside it is difficult to believe it, because its size is truly impressive.
The installation Crazy hyperculture in the vertigo of the world is a huge knitted structure, a whole maze of yarn, suspended from the ceiling of one of the exhibition halls of the Faena Arts Center in Buenos Aires.
Like Anthropodino, this installation has its own scent. Rather, a lot of them. Several dozen bags with strong flavors are built into it. And the audience, walking around Crazy hyperculture in the vertigo of the world, will feel different smells, pushing him to understand the meaning hidden in this extraordinary work.
In addition, with the help of a knitted installation Crazy hyperculture in the vertigo of the world, Ernesto Neto wanted to show that interactive artwork can not only be made using modern technologies, but also grandfather's (or rather, grandmother's) methods.

Experimental maze stairs
Who can honestly answer the question - how often does he use the stairs in the house? Almost all houses, with the possible exception of five-story buildings, now have elevators.

York cornfields: the largest maize maze in the world
A trip to the labyrinth is always a challenge to the unknown, and besides, it is a certain risk. And the risk is considerable - especially if the Minotaur lurks in the middle of your maze, or, even worse, your guide is a man named Harris.
