The Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde has developed a way to create a small, perfect white cloud in the middle of a room. It requires meticulous planning: the temperature, humidity and lighting all have to be just so. Once everything is ready, Smilde summons the cloud out of the air using a fog machine. It lasts only moments, but the effect is dramatic and strangely moving. It\u00a0evokes both the surrealism of Magritte and the classical beauty of the old\u00a0masters while reminding us of the ephemerality of art and nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LIST:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/techland.time.com\/2011\/11\/17\/five-cool-inventions-from-times-new-50-best-inventions-issue\/\">5 Cool Inventions from TIME\u2019s New \u201950 Best Inventions\u2019 Issue<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"next-item\"><span>Next<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/techland.time.com\/2012\/11\/01\/best-inventions-of-the-year-2012\/slide\/the-civilization-starter-kit\/\">The Civilization Starter Kit<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n","name":"indoor-clouds","title":"Indoor Clouds","permalink":"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130308224244\/http:\/\/techland.time.com\/2012\/11\/01\/best-inventions-of-the-year-2012\/slide\/indoor-clouds\/","shortlink":"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130308224244\/http:\/\/ti.me\/RwXPiw","meta":"<span class=\"entry-byline\">By <a href=\"http:\/\/techland.time.com\/author\/timeadmin\/\" title=\"Posts by TIME Staff\" rel=\"author\">TIME Staff<\/a><\/span><span class=\"entry-date\">Nov. 01, 2012<\/span><span class=\"entry-comments\"><a href=\"http:\/\/techland.time.com\/2012\/11\/01\/best-inventions-of-the-year-2012\/#comments\"><span data-lf-article-id=\"150129\" data-lf-site-id=\"314104\" class=\"livefyre-commentcount\">0<\/span><\/a><\/span>","tweet":"Indoor Clouds - Best Inventions of the Year 2012 |","polldaddy_id":"results","hub":"Priceless"},{"id":150165,"html":"<div class=\"item \" data-id=\"150165\" data-pos=\"1\"><header class=\"item-header group\"><span class=\"entry-category hub-title\" data-pos=\"1\">Free - $150<\/span><h2 class=\"item-title\">The Civilization Starter Kit<\/h2><div class=\"describer-title\">Price: Free<\/div><div class=\"entry-meta\"><span class=\"entry-byline\">By <a href=\"http:\/\/techland.time.com\/author\/timeadmin\/\" title=\"Posts by TIME Staff\" rel=\"author\">TIME Staff<\/a><\/span><span class=\"entry-date\">Nov. 01, 2012<\/span><span class=\"entry-comments\"><a href=\"http:\/\/techland.time.com\/2012\/11\/01\/best-inventions-of-the-year-2012\/#comments\"><span data-lf-article-id=\"150129\" data-lf-site-id=\"314104\" class=\"livefyre-commentcount\">0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/header><div class=\"entry-content group \"><figure class=\"entry-thumb entry-thumb-l \"><img src=\"http:\/\/timenerdworld.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/10\/civilizationstarterkit.jpg?w=720&h=480&crop=1\" class=\"full-width\" alt=\"isaiah Saxon\u2014open source ecology\" \/><figcaption><small class=\"entry-thumb-credit\">isaiah Saxon\u2014open source ecology<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Marcin Jakubowski built a tractor in six days.
