Not for me- too claustrophobic!


geeks_elevator_7.jpg

Ok, so its not exactly an elevator, but it definitely looks more fun to ride wouldnt you agree? Unfortunately, this gigantic, spiraling slide is located in Belgium. More pictures after the break.

For Carsten Höller, the experience of sliding is best summed up in a phrase by the French writer Roger Caillois as a voluptuous panic upon an otherwise lucid mind. The slides are impressive sculptures in their own right, and you dont have to hurtle down them to appreciate this artwork. What interests Höller, however, is both the visual spectacle of watching people sliding and the inner spectacle experienced by the sliders themselves, the state of simultaneous delight and anxiety that you enter as you descend. (Tate Modern)

I'd do it was sprayed w/ lysol! It reminds me of the tube you put your money in at the bank teller outside the bank.

I'd try it at least once. Hopefully it would go fast enough that I wouldn't be too claustrophobic.

I think I'd be up to try once, but it depends on the "ride" as to wether I did it a second timeweirdface
