The Detroit Airport's All Over Art

Sunday afternoon and Monday morning I got to grace the halls of the Detroit Metro Wayne County Airport, aka DTW. While I'd rather not rehash the events, I did get to revisit the tunnel that connects Terminals B and C to A on the Northwest WorldGateway side. On to the fun.

The tunnel is a light show synchronized with music, created by SmithGroup, Inc. However, at 10 at night the lights are still and the hall is silent. The walls are made of glass and have varying textures and indentations to change how the light gets bent. The big patterns I usually see are blue and red, though there is a purple and yellow pattern and a green and blue one as well. YouTube videos galore for this one. I snapped a few for you guys and found a link.

In the designy section of the airport (yes that is a technical term, "designy," meaning that it looks like a lot of protractors were involved) there is a playful water sculpture that usually has a crowd near it. Grabbed a shot of that as well. I haven't found much about it on the internet, but maybe I haven't been looking hard enough. There's a vid on YouTube, don't you worry.
