The first of the art installations through Playa to Paseo program is the “Sonic Runway“, the light-art installation by Rob Jensen and Warren Trezevant that came to the playa in 2016, after debuting Chengdu in China and then in London, it is making it back to North America to city of San Jose.
WHAT: The Sonic runway is a light-art installation that converts audio signals into a pattern of lights that shoot down a corridor of 32 arches at the speeds of sound.
WHEN & WHERE: The piece will be unveiled at a 6 p.m. ceremony on Nov. 3, in front of the San Jose City Hall — on the Santa Clara Street sidewalk from Fourth to Sixth streets – and will stay for two to three months.
