In January I had a little fun with The Wishing Well Sculpture, which I called the Bridgeland sphere until I looked up its actual name. This art is located outside The Good Earth coffee shop at the bottom of 9th Street East hill in Bridgeland, Calgary. The first picture is taken from across the street so that I could get the whole sculpture in view.
Visitors can text messages to "1-587-327-9939 in the form of a greeting or wish. The words from the messages get processed into braille text dots that play music, sounds and voices that can be heard by standing inside of the sculpture." [for full quote see above link] The surface of the art work is also fun as it distorts the reflections. The next picture shows the buildings across the street, and they appear to be melting.
While there I also took a selfie. The Wishing Well is an interesting piece of Calgary Art.
That is an amazing piece of art! I will have to stop by to check it out!
