Mural that responds to light (Electric Forest)
Behind the Midway art/concert venue is a mural that shifts between being a forest or a flock of birds, depending on the lights used to illuminate it. The Midway credits the work to Haddad Drugan, and calls it "Electric Forest, Michigan St. c. 2023." It is SO COOL! (And it demonstrates a concept I wanted to use in a sci-fi story, where humans visited an alien place and couldn't read the extensive texts left in the buildings because they weren't using the appropriate wavelengths of light... Yes, you knew what a geek I am. You don't have to pretend.). I previously saw it by day (a different look!), but am thrilled I get to see these versions of it as well.
