Market Street has been under a year long renovation to bring something new to San Francisco’s main throughway. The main street is also where we live at The Wilson. This weekend 52 new creative and unique public art installations will be installed around the city and on market street. These installations will then be voted on by popular opinion to see which 10-12 become long term installations. Make sure to take a walk down market street this weekend and check these new installations out. We have featured a few in the blog below.
Life through a toddler's eyes.
This art installation is perfect for the adult that just needs a break to relax and feel like a kid again. The installation strives to help adults channel their inner child, and then use that to bring out their compassion and creativity. Everything will be oversized just like it was when you were a child.
A Pop Up Library
The San Francisco Public Library is behind this installation. This gateway will be built out of
San Francisco Resident’s favorite books. As you walk through, you will be facing toward the library. This walk through will also feature an audio book from the library’s collection. Finally, there will be a did you know section that visitors can take to learn more about the library.
A two-story pile of life-size Jenga blocks.
Do you remember the game Jenga? Did you ever think you would see a life-size version of the game? These interlocking and stackable wooden blocks will encourage people to watch and interact with the exhibit and the people around them. During specific times, the exhibit will be unlocked and visitors can move the blocks around.
Collaborative music driven by facial expressions.
Have you ever wanted to design your own music? This next exhibit will give you that opportunity. Four iPads will each be responsible for one instrument. The system will recognize seven facial expressions that you can use to shape the music and the piece that you are making. This unique experience will let you design music with three other strangers or friends.
These are just four of the many exhibits that you can experience this weekend in San Francisco. To find out more information about this weekend’s art make sure to check out Huffington Post.
