Public art installation seen on today's bike ride. I believe it was called "Industrial Pipe Wave". There were several smaller pipe installations in the same area, each of the smaller ones included a seating bench.
I thought this was pretty cool.
@wanderinghermit That is very cool, looks fluid. Where is this?

Scottsdale, AZ, on the bank of one of the canals.

@wanderinghermit Oh I know those canals well! I use to live right near Chaparral Park and used them to commute.

@wanderinghermit The sense of motion is really fantastic. I wonder if work like this could even have been conceived in the era before digital special effects became common in film. Like certain paintings were only possible after the advent of motion pictures, this feels like a digital motion graphic made physical. On a practical level I'm trying to imagine how it got fabricated and installed. The welds (I'm assuming it's welded) are very expertly hidden, at least in the photo.

@wanderinghermit I love the sense of motion! It reminds me of some pieces I saw (photos of) with sticks suspended by fishing line in a forest as if frozen in mid-air. Sadly I can't remember the artist's name, and good luck searching for that...

@wanderinghermit water pipes used to make a waterless wave in an arid region ...
Cool. -

Oh, sure. This is at McDonald and the canal, the next cross street north of Chaparral.

I was standing next to it and had to look closely to see the welds. The artist did a really nice job.
But since *I* date from before special effects became common, I'm going to say that flip books and card decks could have been instrumental in visualizing something like this. But the work is dated 2014, so maybe digital had a big part.

@wanderinghermit Yep much likely changed, I once lived in townhouses behind Basha’s off of 86th Street. I see on the map Casella’s deli is still there. Got sandwiches there much.

Yeah, I mostly moved away in about 2015. So much has changed.
