Philadelphia Dilworth Proposal - Plaza

Echelman's newest work continues her interest in making visible the existing environmental forces which cannot be seen by the human eye, yet innovates with a new material and subject matter. Functioning as a continuous X-ray of the city's circulatory system, Echelman's artwork will trace above ground the pathways of the three subway lines which run beneath Dilworth Plaza. The movement will occur in real time, using a data feed of train arrival and departure. The pathways will be drawn in 5-ft-tall curtains
of atomized water illuminated by layers of colored light. This is Echelman's first artwork using this new methodology.
