Impossible Object:new art installation only possible in space makes debut on International Space Station

A unique piece of artwork has been revealed that involved spheres being formed out of water when poured down its brass framework. The catch? That the sculpture of sorts can only be seen in action outside the planet’s orbit in zero gravity conditions, as revealed on the International Space Station recently.

The piece, titled Impossible Object, is a sculpture made of liquid water and cannot exist on Earth due to gravity. Built from brass rods and tubes, it looks like stairs which do not have an up or a down. Water flows through it but without any gravity to direct it downwards, it sticks to the ladder’s metallic structure and makes bubbles of varying sizes while on earth the water would simply dribble out.
