How does Eliasson discuss the relation of space, time, and the viewer?
Artist, Olafur Eliasson transforms spaces with his sculptures and installation art. By inserting natural elements, his installations make the space tangible, as you can see from his work shown in photo 1. In the TED talk we watched in class today, we saw how the viewers interacted with this particular space. A girl was laying down on the ground within this installation, and she noticed her own reflection in the mirrors above.
Installing these creative pieces enhances public space, and make it easy for people to come together. These interactive spaces provide outlets for both individuality and collectivity.

Eliasson believes that art is not just about decorating the world, but is also about making the space active, and having people react to it. The impact on the viewers is just as an important as the art itself. Creating an interactive, artistic space essentially forms relationships between space, time, and the viewer themselves.
Figure 2 represents time; the time that it takes for water to fall. It is inspired by the mountains in Iceland, where he learned that landscapes are defined not just by the size and view of it, but the time it takes to move place to place, or the time it takes for something within the landscape (such as water) to flow. Time is merely another way to measure space. You can understand the size of a landscape when taking into account time.
