描述：
《Head in the Clouds》（云端想象）公共艺术装置是FIGMENT在2013年夏季展览中在纽约长岛Governors Island上的主要聚集空间。这个获得了“梦想之城”竞赛的提名作品，源自于创造一个“在梦想之城中做梦的地方”的愿望。毕竟，梦想之城充满了梦想者，而那些梦想者需要一个梦想的地方。
这个空间由53780个回收的瓶子制成，这是纽约市在一小时内扔掉的瓶子的数量，游客可以进入这个空间，并思考从内到外通过“云”过滤的光线和颜色。外部是由一加仑的罐子制成的一系列“枕头”，而内部则是16盎司和24盎司的瓶子。沙子、水和弯曲的铝框架提供了结构的完整性，并在基地创造了一个可容纳50人的小座位/梦想区。我们从纽约市和其他地方的组织、企业、学校和个人收集用过的瓶子，然后重新利用这些瓶子来建造展馆。来自艺术、建筑和社区的200多名志愿者帮助我们建造和组装了展馆。2013年2月14日，该展馆的部分资金来自于Kickstarter网站上成功的众筹活动，并被选为Kickstarter的“今日项目”。
"Head in the Clouds" 于2013年6月向公众开放，欢迎在这个夏天来参观！当光线穿过瓶子，微风轻拂形态时，你看到了什么？当你的头(和身体)在云端时，你会梦到什么?梦想之城?

LOCATION: Governors Island, NY

SCOPE: Architecture, Public Art, Installation
STATUS: Completed
DESCRIPTION:
The Head in the Clouds pavilion is the main gathering space for FIGMENT’s 2013 summer-long exhibition on New York’s Governors Island. Chosen from over 200 submissions, our winning proposal for the City of Dreams Pavilion competition (sponsored by American Institute of Architects New York ENYA, Structural Engineers Association of New York, and FIGMENT) comes out of the desire to create a “place to dream in the city of dreams”. After all, the city of dreams is filled with dreamers, and those dreamers need a place to dream that city of dreams..
Made from 53,780 recycled bottles - the amount, thrown away in NYC in 1 hour - it is a space where visitors can enter into and contemplate the light and color filtering through the "cloud' from the inside, out. A series of "pillows" made from one gallon jugs form the exterior, while 16 and 24 ounce bottles line the interior. Sand, water, and a curved aluminum frame provide structural integrity and create a small seating/dreaming area for 50 people at the base. We collected used bottles from organizations, businesses, schools, and individuals throughout New York City and beyond, then repurposed the bottles to construct the pavilion. More than 200 volunteers from the arts, architectural, and community at large helped us build and assemble the pavilion. The pavilion was funded in part through a successful crowdfunding campaign through Kickstarter and chosen as Kickstarter's Project of the Day on Feb 14, 2013.
Head in the Clouds is open to the public June 2013--come visit this summer! What do you see as the light shifts through the bottles, and the wind gently blows over the form? What will you dream about, with your head (and body) in the cloud? The City of Dreams?
