Text/Photos by Chen Chi-Hsiang. Tomas Saraceno (born 1973) is one of the most representative emerging artists in South America, known for cross-disciplinary multimedia spatial installations and objects.

In this context, concepts replace art; under thinking and debate, "art" remains only "argumentation," the mind replaces everything, and human intuition and sensibility vanish—where have they gone?
