PDX Bridge Festival: Hawthorne Centennial Installation
Loading...
Uploaded by pdxbridgefestival on Dec 21, 2009
The centerpiece of the 2010 PDX Bridge Festival is the Hawthorne Bridge, which celebrates its hundredth anniversary that year. To commemorate the centennial of the nation's oldest working vertical lift bridge, we intend to transform this bridge into a kinetic art installation and projection screen. A solar-powered lighting display, installed for the duration of the festival, makes use of programmable lighting technology, highlighting the bridge with a wash of color and moving light. For three Saturday nights over the course of the festival, the Hawthorne Bridge raises to unfurl a projection screen stretched across the displaced area of the lift span (240x80). The screen provides a framework to give a visual tour of Portlands history—who we are, where we've come from, and where we're going—using gathered media from the last 100 years. Each presentation lasts an hour, in conjunction with a free concert on the Morrison Bridge. Visible not only from the neighboring bridges but also from both banks of the river and downtown buildings, the Hawthorne Bridge Centennial Project will be a spectacle to remember.
Total audience: 90,000

Never seen this bridge physically, but I love looking at pictures of it.

So if we donate enough by next year, will we actually get to see "Lift 101" as illustrated here? As much as we enjoyed the concert, we were really looking forward to a span-width slideshow with photos from the city archives!!! ("Also Sprach Zarathustra" during the lift, anyone?)
