Cable Roof Garden.

An art installation made from 2500-square metres of mesh allows up to ten people to float on 26-foot diameter air-filled PVC balls, as well as play spider by stalking people below. The project called 'In Orbit' put together by Thomas Saracen uses three-tonnes of netting. 
It took three-years to compose the impressive structure, which is located at over the giddy-heights of three floors of the K21 Standhaus museum in Dusseldorf, Germany. Located at over the giddy-heights of three floors of the K21 Standhaus museum in Dusseldorf, Germany the artist studies the techniques used by spiders to create their webs when he designed the spectacular piece of interactive artwork.

Mr Saraceno explained the thinking behind his work.'Each individual strand not only holds visitors in place, but weaves them into itself, at the same time allowing them to act,' he said.'It's like an outstretched network with an open character. 
This is a design where a person can be like Human 'spiders' living on the edge. The artist studied the techniques used by spiders to create their webs when he designed the spectacular work of interactive artwork. Mr Saraceno said 'Each individual strand not only holds visitors in place, but weaves them into itself, at the same time allowing them to act'` 'An open, cosmic, woven structure that becomes densified, ramified, before flowing out into lines again at its edges. 'The web is singular in its relationship to the existing architecture.' Visitors must be at least 12-years-old when they choose to take to the heights of the exhibition when it opens on June 22nd 2013.
