The Weather Project was a temporary installation at the Tate Modern Museum in London by Studio Olafur Eliasson. The installation consists of a big space adorned by a light ball that resembles the sun. The yellow light, in combination with the big space, the height of the building and added fog create an immersive experience, breath taking, with simple elements. In this same space the artist Merce Cunningham performed a dance (link below) and it is important as a consideration for the versatility of use of an art installation and possible collaborations with other fields.
