Ernesto Neto Madness

Sometimes art is made for the fun of it, and sometimes it is created for the fun of others. Brazillian artist Ernesto Neto chose to create the latter in his piece, titled “Madness is Part of Life.”

“Madness is Part of Life” is an environment piece created by the assemblage of many items. The items used to create this art piece are a bunch of plastic balls, the number in the thousands, as well as orange netting to keep the balls suspended in the air. These items are arranged in a way which makes the piece resemble a children’s jungle gym, with many zigs and zags along the pathway. The pathway is used to support Ernesto’s idea and belief of madness being a huge part of life with its many zigs and zags throughout it.
