“You can’t learn unless you ask questions. Unless you ask questions, nobody knows what you are thinking or what you want to know.”

D. Rothstein & L. Santana. 2011

Think

Could you imagine this event happening in your living room?

Or maybe, this is nothing else, but a meteorological experiment?

Might it just be a smoke test for a concert?

Could we say that this is a sort of artwork?

So, if it is an artwork, how should we interpret it?

What sort of message could it possibly convey?

Could you imagine people walking through this piece of art so as to be involved, and finally, be absorbed in art?

How would you describe the technical process of producing this indoor cloud?

Would you have any idea about how long this cloud would last?

Finally, how would you think it will disappear?

Would there be any raindrops falling on your head?

What other questions would you like to ask about this indoor cloud?
