When I talked to you about your piece, one statement stuck in my head which was something like, " I was trying to make something heavy light". So in terms of philosophy, this reminded me of some ideas that I heard about several physicists trying to overcome the forces of gravity, and not just by flying with engines or using magnetic forces, but actually producing an anti-gravitational force. This in itself is quite an interesting concept, but in trying to search for writings on it and not having extensive knowledge in this particular field-go figure- I can't suggest any credible readings on this matter.

This site lists a whole mess of links to articles about anti-gravity
However, on a semi-related digression...magic and how to levitate leads to a lot of fun youtube videos and different people saying they have the best way to do it ever. Again, I can't provide the best feedback on the credibility of which technique is best, but I was really tempted to try the Balducci one, that is apparently David Blaine's choice. Hope this is fun and perhaps even interesting.

In the last one, they threw in a picture of a girl at the end which I don't understand, but the floating card is pretty cool.
