proof on main

proof on main is a restaurant, bar, hotel and 24/7 art gallery. how could we pass that up? the gallery was larger than i was expecting - they had some really interesting works. at the hotel elevators was "text rain". seen in the first two photos, "text rain" is an interactive display where the viewer's image is mirrored on a screen, and letters fall down the screen, landing along the edges of your body. if you get a line across the whole screen & hold still long enough, a full sentence forms. it was great fun. i want one for my house. :)

other exhibits included a large umbrella, puffs of cloud rings, a hairy deer, a refrigerated boat frame, a peacock made of a feather duster & pipe cleaners, mildly disturbing photos of young boys in tree houses and a small army of red penguins. the penguins were quite photogenic, i think.
