the Serra installation video - in fast forward!

i like the beginning of this video. they put the first piece down, then decide... 'No, a little to the left.' Then, 'hmmmm. No, move it back to the right.' It's like hanging a picture frame that weighs 30 tons. Turn up the volume and consider how MoMA is presenting this work... (And don't you just love time-lapse photography...)

i've watched a few of the videos that appear at the bottom of the You Tube screen when this one ends. they're worth it to get an idea of how long it took to design and build those (some more than 3 years). there's a moment in one where he asks an engineer if it's possible to build the shape he wants to build and the guy says he doesn't know. it was never attempted.
