The interactive artwork "Cloud Cities Barcelona" hangs over 130 metres high in the dome of the Torre Glòries in Barcelona. The network of 6 kilometres of stretched cables, which are connected by 5000 nodes and look like drops of water condensing along the strands of a three-dimensional spider's web, questions the morphology of public space. The suspended viewing platform creates unexpected encounters and, at the same time, offers the public the opportunity to view the city from a fresh perspective.
