Documented artwork / wind-responsive illuminated transit sculpture
Cloud
Credit as documented: Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan (Haddad|Drugan)
Cloud suspends more than six thousand acrylic discs in a shifting field above a transit setting in SeaTac. Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan arranged white, violet, yellow, orange, pink and silver discs on horizontal stainless-steel cables supported by curved arms. Wind activates individual elements, while programmed lighting extends the work's sunset-like palette after dark. The colors fade toward blue when trains approach, connecting the installation to station activity.
