Compare and contrast the experience of Saraceno's in orbit and Christo and Jeanne-Claude's The Gates. Then indicate your responses to these works and the reasons you respond in these ways

What will be an ideal response?

Responses will vary. Tomás Saraceno's in orbit featured undulating netting that acted like a spider's web, with each person, each new footfall or shift in weight, sending vibrations through the whole. Visitors became aware through their bodies that they were all connected. Suspended in mid-air, they experienced something close to weightlessness, something close to being able to inhabit the sky. The Gates is sculptural in form with 23 miles of rectangular nylon gateways set up in Central Park, New York. In contrast, The Gates involves the idea of impermanence, lasting for a short period of time. Viewers walk through the gates, experiencing a majestic ceremonial walkway of billowing saffron-colored banners. The installation's duration was 16 days; afterwards it was removed, leaving no trace of its presence.
