The Cloud: Broadcasting the climate of humanity

Olympic & Expo structures with their mute mass, their ponderous monumentality, and their conspicuous expenditure on immovable objects are outmoded. Our proposal is as light as air itself a tribute to a digital age of bits and atoms beyond the antiquity of steel and glass a structure which reveals the connected networks of a common humanity fuelling the
Olympics, their 2012 host city, and the world itself. The Cloud proposes
a new form of monument a new form of collective
expression and experience, and an updated symbol
of our dawning age. It proposes an entirely new form of observation deck,
high above the Olympics one from which one can
not only see the whole of London, but the whole of the world, immersed in the euphoric
gusts of weather and world data. It offers Londons highest park and an immersion within both our great clouded skies and the cosmos of our dataworlds as well as a live information system transmitting data and imagery from around the city and the world. It presents the perfect Olympic symbol a million unbounded particles contributing briefly towards a vast, beautiful, constantly-fluctuating whole. London, with its diversity, internationalism and tolerance, unites countries; the Cloud unites all people.

A new life awaits you in the off-world colonies.

A floating observation deck?

Nice way to sell it to the masses though.

@tomrichardson83 We are living in life cycles...we are constantly evolving over this time and soon the time will come for us to evolve again. This is the Awakening of our DNA. Look at all of the new crop circles. Sacred geometry and the Mayan's...Egyptians..Even Jesus was drawn inside a spaceship thousand years ago. The light beings have been there assist us in ascension to the next level.

Humanity has been here over 20,000 years!....Everything is in cycles as we are.

What about the Illuminati hand signs at the 1:00 minute mark? NWO has taken over... they told us so...

I just think it's a load of shit. How can we say we're a united humanity with everything that's going on in the world...war, poverty, discrimination, prejudice, racism, murder. And then this comes along telling us that we're united...what an insult. And people are giving me thumbs down...god you sad people need to wake up and smell the bullshit.

What song is this?

This is really cool, whether it's brainwashing or whatever (from these odd comments below) this is an amazing step forward in technology, I can't wait to leave this crazy land (America) to see this and the world.

[SilversidesFishing]

Cant you smell the stink of that cloud? open yer eyes ya fools. It's more Olympic brainwashing.

[J20M07]

United Humanity?! Where the fuck did they get that from?!?!

Funny it's an American talking as well isn't it. "United Humanity" Never heard such a fucking hypocritical load of bullshit in my entire life.
