Jerusalem, Israel: In an outdoor, shopping-mall network of pedestrian streets, an art construction runs overhead like a canopy. It consists of a long series of closely spaced wires, strung with numerous, loosely hanging gold-colored tags. When contemplating this construction attentively, one notices a subtle modulation of light flowing through it continuously, back and forth, from end to end. It isn’t clear to me, however, whether this effect was created, simply, by gentle breezes flowing through the mall’s network of streets, or whether (the more likely case, in my estimation) it was electronically controlled.
