We have finally installed Small Talk About the Weather! Small Talk About the Weather is a touchstone for the communal sharing of life’s experiences. This artwork consists of graceful organic geometries that flow and curve along the length of the pedestrian corridor ceiling. The luminous bands, inspired by doppler radar data, give the impression of abstract weather patterns energetically glowing overhead and also offer an attractive contrast to the rectilinear geometries of the concourse. As people walk through the corridor they will experience a visual representation of Oklahoma City’s weather data translated into three-dimensional space. For those visitors who want it, the art piece also offers a unique opportunity for interactivity. A control panel installed in the garage wall invites visitors to wave their hands, scarves or other colored objects in front of a sensor window. The color and movement are then writ large across the entire art piece. There is a small ledge that allows visitors to set their cell phone so it can play a movie or image – either of which will be translated into a pattern of lights to illuminate the bands.
Everyone is very excited to have Small Talk About the Weather completely installed. We’re pleased to know that the sculpture has been well received by all of the community.
