I've read of Megastructure for living on, and Megastructures for moving a star system, but what of Megastructures purely for Art?
Obviously you wouldn't want to make TOO visible to the Universe, unless you were feeling brave...
There was a word I came across a while ago that I can't remember, which basically described science fiction mega structures, or rather a particular feeling or sensation that these caused that isn't a phobia. I just can't damn well find that word.
Rather like these images by Paul Chadeisson (https://www.artstation.com/pao)
Also, please recommend any artists of a similar vein.
I just watched Megastructures (2004X8) "Petronas Towers" https://t.co/lDzcwlOuKI #trakt #Megastructures

Designed by Cesar Pelli, the Petronas Towers were the tallest buildings in the world on the date of its completion. Located in Kuala Lumpur, the design of the 88 storey, 450m tall twin towers, carries an Islamic geometrical influence. The towers are a symbol of Malaysia’s pride. To instill competition, the contract for the construction of the towers were awarded to two different construction companies, each company was assigned to work on one of the towers. This episode takes a look at how the construction companies competed to complete their tower before the other. Problems faced, from the soil samples, the unique cement mixture used as a steel substitute, to the tropical weather, are covered.
I just watched Megastructures (2004X3) "Channel Tunnel" https://t.co/LTmxmqleAZ #trakt #Megastructures

The Channel Tunnel or Euro Tunnel is one of the world’s longest underground rail tunnels, and links England with France. Consisting of two rail tunnels and a small service tunnel in-between, they total 153 km in length. The documentary looks at the race between the British and the French to complete the tunneling of the Channel Tunnel and the obstacles faced in its construction.
I just watched Megastructures (0X7) "China's Ultimate Port (Yangshan Deep Ocean Port)" https://t.co/Rk42utqajc #trakt #Megastructures

In 2002, Chinese engineers and workers tackled one of the biggest construction projects on earth, the Yangshan Deep Water Port. Thirty km out to sea, with 20 km of quay and fifty berths, Yangshan is destined to become the biggest deepwater port ever built. Linked to China by the world’s second-longest ocean bridge, Yangshan’s deep water allows the world’s biggest container ships to come calling. Its massive cranes, cutting-edge control system, and focused personnel are already shattering records for loading and unloading gigantic container ships and it’s not even finished being built.
To find advanced #civilizations, you don’t need to go hunting for #megastructures or hypothetical #space probes.
You could find civilizations by looking for a key element: #hydrogen. #Deuterium holds a whole lot of promise for nuclear fusion.
To harvest deuterium, an alien civilization might draw it from its oceans. This would cause a visible imbalance in the deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio, potentially visible with next-generation telescopes.
