Art & About

The other day, M and I walked to Town Hall to see an art installation that's part of the Art & About Sydney festival. "Tsunami 1.26" by American artist Janet Echelman is a big floating lace sculpture that is currently anchored above George Street, between Town Hall and Woolworths. The rope has a tensile strength 15 times stronger than steel, and the netting was machine-knotted in a pattern based on a 3D model of the tsunami after the 2010 earthquake in Chile.

It's interesting during the day, but I'd like to go back to see it lit up at night, when I bet it's even better.
