Entry Description

Virtual Sky is suspended in the two public atriums of the city’s new Convention Center. The artwork re-conceptualizes the beauty and changeability of the Oklahoma Sky through technology. Anodized titanium forms evoke the subtle shifts of color one experiences throughout the day and season. 60,000 points of light trace weather patterns in realtime. Together, they create an immersive visual experience that expresses the vast, changeable, majestic sky that is so much a part of this city. Virtual Sky can also be explored through its Augmented Reality app.
