  • Shape
    A fabric starts on the bottom with a recognizable structure, which is switching to an ever looser structure. If you look closely, on the inside of the structure there appears a human figure. I find it better to a more apparent effect. I would have liked it better when the person would be better recognizable.
    Material
    The artwork consists of shiny tubes of the same length. The reason for this is not entirely clear. I would have found it interesting when different structures were used.
    It seems to me that a reference is made to molecules. It would have been possible to express this by using several materials and / or components.
    Location
    The artwork once stood on a structure inside the Thames, with on the background the elements air and water.
    Meaning
    This artwork is a good starting point for a creative and meaningful artwork that makes use of the elements which are surrounding the artwork.

    The Quantum Cloud is a contemporary sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley, located next to the Millennium Dome in London. The sculpture was commissioned for the site and was completed in 1999.
    At 30 metres high, it is Gormley's tallest sculpture to date (taller than the Angel of the North). It is constructed from a collection of tetrahedral units made from 1.5 m long sections of steel. The steel sections were arranged using a computer model with a random walk algorithm starting from points on the surface of an enlarged figure based on Gormley's body that forms a residual outline at the centre of the sculpture.
    In designing Quantum Cloud, Antony Gormley was influenced by Basil Hiley, quantum physicist (and long-time colleague of David Bohm). The idea for Quantum Cloud came from Hiley's thoughts onpre-space as a mathematical structure underlying space-time and matter,[1] and his comment that 'algebra is the relationship of relationships.' The comment was made during a conversation between Gormley, Hiley and writer David Peat at a 1999 London gathering of artists and scientists, organized by Peat.
