Plantation Lane London : Public Art

The most prominent feature in Plantation Lane is a glass art wall by Simon Patterson and Arup. The 135' (41m) by 20' (6m) wall happens at the midpoint of the street and follows the slight curve of it. An image of the moons surface covers the whole wall, with LED lights changing the back-illuminated wall different colors over time. The glass panels are held together with plus-sign clips; their combination lays a grid over the lunar-scape in, perhaps, a commentary on man's treatment of nature and the colonization of space.
