Samuel Hertz, in this contribution, shares insights into his engagement with the works of two very distinct but nevertheless related forms of artistic practice: The compositions of experimental musician and installation artist Maryanne Amacher as well as the longterm exploratory project Aerocene by Tomás Saraceno.
