inflation, working with air and material.

COCKY EEK.
From research ,cocky eek likes to develop works in culture of play, exploring diverse sets of lightweight spacial compositions in which the controle over the process and outcome are often uncertain.



The physical experiences of her works, often give the suggestion of flying, floating or brain-science and liks to stretch the physical borders of human possibilities.

Cocky Eek





I am extremely inspired by cocky eek's work. I like how she engages with the active experimentation and manipulation pf the spacial and temporal dimensions of the inhabited and urban environment.

His Air-Port-City is an ongoing experiment that interconnects various living areas floating in the air through a system of modules. Saraceno's architecture is ethereal and delicate, it is poetical and utopian but because they are ruled by regulations similar to airport ones, his cities also challenge existing political, social, cultural and military boundaries. They are truly international. Inhabitants will survive eating the produces of the "Flying Gardens" made of plants that can survive the constant changes in spatial and temporal conditions. There will be 'airplants' for example. These plants, from the genus Tillandsia, feed on rain, dust, insect matter, dew and whatever nutrients the air brings to them.
