Quantum Cloud — Attraction in London

I love this sculpture. If you have a very basic knowledge of quantum mechanics you will probably appreciate it as well. Even if you just know about the thought experiment usually referred to as Schrodinger’s cat, you’ll see the beauty of this sculpture. The first time I saw the sculpture I didn’t see the figure of the man at the centre of the piece. I thought it was a ridiculous hodgepodge of steel, and it looked more like a haystack than anything else. It was only after reading an article about the sculpture that I thought of going to see it again. I waited for a cloudy day and took my camera with me. On this occasion, I did indeed see the figure of the man several times. And just as often, I did not see it at all. It’s there and not there at the same...

The Quantum Cloud is a contemporary sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley, located next to The O2 in London. The sculpture was commissioned for the site and was completed in 1999. At 30 m (98 ft) high, it is Gormley's tallest sculpture to date (taller than the Angel of the North). It is constructed from a collection of tetrahedral units made from 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) long sections of steel. The steel sections were arranged using a computer model with a random walk algorithm starting from points on the surface of an enlarged figure based on Gormley's body that forms a residual outline at the centre of...

The Quantum Cloud is a striking contemporary sculpture by Antony Gormley, located next to The O2 in London. Completed in 1999, it stands 30 meters tall, making it Gormley's tallest work. The sculpture is composed of numerous steel tetrahedral units, creating a cloud-like structure with a human figure at its core. Gormley was inspired by quantum physics and chaos theory, aiming to represent the interconnectedness of all things. The Quantum Cloud is part of The Line, an art trail that follows the Greenwich Meridian, showcasing various public artworks...
