As
a volunteer at the Mattress Factory, a site-specific installation museum, I
personally enjoyed seeing the many installations at the International. My
favorite installation was Nude Plasmic by Ernesto Neto. This is a great example
of how an installation can affect several senses of the body. In viewing this
piece, I experienced a great feeling of serenity. Being inside Nude
Plasmic
warped my depth perception and created a feeling of weightlessness. The interior
space of the artwork resembled an organ of the body (generally), and being
inside made me feel more closely connected to my own body.
