The mission brings together representatives of the Salinas Grandes’ native communities, together with multidisciplinary, transnational bodies from art and science, to anthropology, ballooning, engineering and beyond: these innovative thinkers and makers, united with the Earth and Air, spiders and mountains, suns, clouds, and bacteria of the cosmic web, will attempt to overcome the challenges of the Capitalocene and move towards a more sustainable epoch - Aerocene.
Tomás Saraceno has two hearts: one is a telescope with which you can appreciate the entire space of the planet. The other is a microscope with which you see the smallest details.

Agradecer a Tomás por confiar en mi y poder ser parte de este hermoso grupo para contribuir a convertir este planeta en un lugar más justo. habitable y respetuoso con el medio ambiente Creo que el más pequeño de los gestos .como el haber estado en Salinas Grandes de Jujuy. pudiendo ayudar a ser parte de la voz de las comunidades del sur y del norte. es más importante que la mayor de las intenciones .Y trabajar por ser el cambio que quiero ver en el mundo. Me llena de alegría.

En Salinas Grandes el clima y la altura se imponen. Trabajar es siempre con ellos. Despacio, a la sombra y a favor del viento. Hacía a dónde apuntes tu cámara y micrófonos verás siempre a la gente, que destaca como astronautas sobre la luna, preparándose durante horas para que la puna les de una oportunidad, un tiro.

It was a pleasure to meet you all and a pleasure to have taken on the challenge of flying with imagination and the idea that we are all on the same boat. So that humanity learns to respect that we can do things together, for the good of present and future generations. A big thank you to the team that accompanied us, I wish that everything works out as best as possible, that we may succeed and thus contribute to the environment and life.

Estoy muy contento y agradecido por haber podido participar de este proyecto artístico ecológico que nos hace tomar conciencia sobre el cuidado del planeta y la unión entre las personas por un objetivo en común. Siento que nos dejaste entrar en tu obra, ver juntos distintos planos, sombras, reflejos, composiciones entre los distintos globos, hasta la "toma encuentro" que para mí es donde se juntan la tierra y el cielo en el horizonte. Fuimos cómo pájaros encantados. Este es uno de los trabajos que más disfrute en mi vida en todo sentido!

Under the enthusiastic applause of the audience, alone on the wooded stage of the CCK amphitheater, a backpack on the shoulders and the simplistic quickdraw, as at the start of a trip, with ease. Tomás Saraceno observed, moved, amazed, carried away by the fantastic boldness of the public, for the majority coming from the new generation; a moment of human harmony, similar to the day of the launch of Aerocene Pacha in the whitish plains of the Salinas Grandes . A breath of love. Hope for a more breathable future. "It is up to the youth to take over" as he repeats forcefully, in each of his interviews. We hold the keys to our future.

In this Aerocenic 21st century, in which ancestral feminist and ecological struggles must be our greatest sources of inspiration, we will have to redefine and think about a horizon of just transitions, which point to an alternative system of social relations and links with nature.
