thirsty?

 

Thirsty? If you visit the water fountains on the second floor of newly-renovated Maddox Engineering Research Center (the old Mass Comm building) at Texas Tech, look up -- that's my photograph! Local artists were asked to provide art and I was honored that five of my photographs were chosen (purchased actually!)

This image wasn't taken with a fish-eye lens but is rather a reflection of the TTU campus between the SUB and the Library.  The seven-foot stainless spherical sculpture by Po Shu Wang is part of the Texas Tech Public Art Program.  Entitled "Comma" the piece is inspired by the West Texas climate and ponders the question "what does the sun sound like?"  By turning a knob on the orb, bronze bells -- one tuned to the sun's musical tonality of 1782.6 Hz -- resonate.
