you might think of art basel as an art, party, or fashion scene, but at art basel miami beach 2011, the satellite exhibitions and the public spaces were interactive and happening.

incubation continued new york artist jennifer rubell's exploration of the creative process through audience participation.

then, you flavored your yogurt by holding the jar up to a ceiling dispenser that dripped honey.
finally, you consumed your creation!
people were also consuming the fruit from banana market/art market, a volkswagen van filled with ripened bananas that brazilian artist paulo nazareth installed in the art positions section at art basel.

architecting the future: buckminster fuller & lord norman foster, a design miami satellite exhibition, featured two of buckminster fuller's inventions: the dymaxion car, an omnidirectional transport system designed in 1933, and the fly's eye dome, a geodesic dome designed in 1961.

for three evenings, the films were also screened at soundscape park, the 7000 square foot outdoor projection wall at the new world center, which was designed by architect frank gehry.
but, the indoor park in the art positions section at art basel was the most popular pedestrian plaza.

the indoor park reminded me of green park in london...
