As an ever growing research and experimental practice, Aerocene is open-source and collaborative. It consists of a dedicated and diverse global community of practitioners who collaborate to promote and enact environmental awareness and atmospheric sensing experiments, imagining new infrastructures of planetary mobility and ethics.
By collaboratively developing, testing and launching aerosolar sculptures, Aerocene seeks to open up the imagination towards an emergent cloudscape, un-tethering a new era of planetary attunement, restoring the thermodynamic balance of the Earth, free from borders, free from fossil fuels.
While fossil fuel enterprises attempt to colonize other planets, the very same interface between us, the Sun and the atmosphere – the air – continues to be compromised.
Carbon emissions fill the air, invisible radio waves develop in a hegemonic algorithm of finance, particulate matter floats inside our lungs.
Can you imagine how would breathing feel in a post fossil fuel economy, and what is our response-ability?
How do we challenge geopolitical borders in an age of climate inequality?
Aerosolar
/ˈeə.rə.sɒl.lər/
Adjective. Noun.
Of the Sun and the winds.
The capacity to harness the energy of the Sun in ways that make moving with, and relating to, the ocean of air self-sustaining.
An envelope’s ability to gain buoyancy; a contained body of air heated by direct solar radiation, achieving lower density than the air outside of it to float in equilibrium with the atmosphere.
The desire for futurity expressed in the rejection of fossil fuels and the extractive practices and relations of the industrial-colonial model, embodied in the will to sense and collaborate with the atmosphere and all immersed in its elemental milieu.
An ethical principle of an ecology of practices cultivated by the Aerocene Community, developed through the Archimedes principle established in c. 250 BCE by Archimedes of Syracuse, fundamental to the fluid dynamics of the laws of physics.

Tomás Saraceno’s Aerocene is astonishing for many reasons. Foremost is the degree to which his experiment manifests the salient principle of thermodynamics as the motor of its operation:
Museo Aero Solar, already presented in more than 20 locations worldwide since its start in spring 2007, is a global collective. One of its initiators, Tomás Saraceno, defines
As society struggles to come to terms with the implications of antropogenic climate change, it is becoming increasingly clear that any adequate response will require not just more
500 years ago the people of Louth, a prosperous market town in east England, conquered the sky. At the west end of their church, St James’s, they built
During the period of modernity we got accustomed to the understanding of the human beings as determined by the social milieu in which they live, as knots in
Throughout history, humanity has rehearsed with lighter-than-air vehicles aiming for a different way to move through and with the air, only with the power of the sun.
Presented here are various attempts of solar flight, undertaken by people whose types of movements into the atmosphere have become marginalised, and rendered invisible under the hegemony of the fossil fuel regime.
