What if you could turn your finger into a paintbrush and, in real time, draw anything on any surface (even in the air), then turn your creation into a moving figure? No, don't imagine. Watch this.

...the success of Running Fence, an older Christo Jeanne-Claude collaboration, shows us that The Gates was not nearly ambitious enough. An exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, “Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Remembering Running Fence“ revisits this extraordinary work. In 1976, the artists completed the construction of a 24.5 mile-long ‘fence’ that stretched across Northern California’s gentle hills before disappearing into the ocean. The fence consisted of an endless ribbon of white nylon secured by intermittent steel posts. In the wind, it swelled gently, like an engorged sail or white sheets hung up on a clothes line. Running Fence’s visual success did not lie in the structure itself, but in its interaction with the monotonously beautiful surrounding landscape. A gallery of photographs in the SAAM exhibit shows us that the piece looked different depending on the time of day and where one stood. Ultimately, it is Running Fence’s use of nature as an artistic tool that made it a great artwork, unlike The Gates which remained a mere curiosity. Running Fence forced viewers to contemplate man’s relationship to nature and our own smallness...more I've posted here about the couples "Over The River" project, but I'd never seen any of their work. Now I have and so have you. What do you think of this?

Christo and Jean Claude are a married couple who have changed the landscape of installation art as we know it. Christo and Jean Claude seek to cover all areas of a space by draping various types of fabric over hundreds of feet and sometimes almost a mile in length. Imagine when you were a child and your parents tucked you into bed at night, the feeling of the blanket running across your body, eventually engulfing you in it's size was soothing and comforting. Christo and Jean Claude accomplish the same effect or feeling in nature and in the city. Their most recent project came in 2005 installed in New York City's Central Park, "The Gates", in which they constructed hundreds of orange painted metal "gates" with hanging and flowing pieces of orange fabric throughout the entire park. The hanging fabric changed the landscape of Central Park and gave the viewer a constant reminder of the art of installation.

Christo returns to Italy with a major installation: 70,000 sqm of orange fabric will lead visitors along a three-kilometer route across the Lake Iseo waters and its shores.
