Took a trip to Salt Lake City in December, and got the chance to stop by the (super-duper cool!) Leonardo Museum of Science, Technology, and Art. (If you get a chance? YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT IT IS AWESOME!) We were heading to a hockey game, and so only had about an hour to see what we could see, but could have happily spent an entire afternoon there.
This was an amazing sculpture that subtly reacted to you via sensors as you walked below it. (And then there were sensors that would react to that movement above) Those protrusions that look like feathers were actually finely cut plastic. And despite its resemblance to jelly fish, my oldest agreed with all of us that it was rather lovely. (They have a jelly fish phobia. Even though we live in Idaho and he's only been to the ocean once. Go figure.) Just editing to add that this was created by Phillip Beesley. You can read a bit about it here and even download an mp3 of the artist discussing the work! Comments are closed.
