Just got a press release from The Exploratorium (the best place on earth, btw, period), announcing the win of an AIA award for the design of the "Wave Wall," a kinetic skin on the surface of the new Science Education Center at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in Livingston, Louisiana. Super-apt for its context of course, but there was only a small pic in the email. Hopped over to YouTube, did a search, and presto. You get some Rockettes-style action at the 2:30-minute mark, but we suspect that this thing is even more wonderful when it's only slighly moving. [more]

Ned Kahn does beautiful work along these lines

Ned Kahn is a good friend of ours. In fact, Peter Richards was a mentor to Ned years ago at the Exploratorium. I'm one of the three artists who build this thing. Elvis is right, it's really nice when it's moving in a slow breeze. It's a little disconcerting because it so damn big...like an ocean wave.
