Sphaerae is an inflatable. A nity of collidedsoapbubbles. People can meet in various circumstances and contexts.

Sphaerae is a collision of soapbubbles. It's a semitransparant lightweight platform which can transform itself into various settings. Its a place; which can play with the parameters of light, sound, vibration and projection, with the inside and the outside. It can perform; as a set of climate- or smell controlled chambers, as a mobile greenhouse or as a place for deep dive chocolate lovers. It can provide syneasthetic explorations or dark mountain contemplations.
-
Sphaerae can be a setting for an surround audiovisual experience, a greenhouse for sprouts, a climate-controlled room for growing mushrooms,
+
-
a playgarden, diningroom for chocolate fanates, a space for contemplating, etc etc. The biggest space is for surround screening, therefor a cloth (inside white/outside black) can be put over on the outside bubble segment.\\

Bubbles meet each other by a semitransparant dividing membrane with a split(door). People can walk from chamber to chamber. The under cloth is white, and the upperlayers will be white-translucent.

When projection from inside is required a cloth (inside white/outside black) can be pulled over the top on the outside and attached to the white underpart.

* 5 and 6 june; Transit of Venus, an event that takes place about once in a hundred years. A transit of Venus across the Sun when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth, becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit Venus can be seen from Earth as a small black disk moving across the face of the Sun.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_of_Venus\\
