The last
time I travelled through O'Hara airport was on the way back from a Sun Dance in
S. Dakota. Going through the light sculpture passageway is always an experience
but this time it really struck me that these people were being elevated, lifted
up during a part of their journey.
The
sculpture is called "The Sky’s the Limit” by Michael Hayden.
It
measures 744 feet long by 18 feet high by 40 feet wide, and incorporates over
23,600 square feet of mirror, reflecting 466 neon tubes that would stretch over
a mile long if laid end to end.
It runs
the entire length of the ceiling above two moving sidewalks, and is composed of
white sections on either end with a rainbow of colors in between. It is
controlled by 3 different computers cycling through various patterns and never
repeats itself. Along the sides of the corridor, undulating walls with various
pastel colors make for a very vibrant space.
