#PianoDay takes place on the 88th day of the year in keeping with the instrument’s number of keys. Equal parts string & percussion, the energy and joy of the #piano enlivens the DeKalb Ave Station through Stephen T. Johnson’s “Dekalb Improvisation,” while nodding to DTBK history.

I'm delight that the @mtaartsdesign used the image of the King from my mosaic murals at the DeKalb Avenue Subways Station in Brooklyn. It is part of the “Poetry in Motion" series currently displayed on Subway platforms and in subway cars throughout the five boroughs. #publicart

The circle bridge in Denmark is made up of 5 interconnected platforms. In order to accommodate taller boats, the central section of the bridge swings open

The bridge was designed by Olafur Eliasson.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Wonder if they inspired the sound effects for the classic arcade game “Asteroids” back in the day!

A group of drones can be synchronized and choreographed to create light shows that feature various aerial formations. Computer programs can translate graphics into flight commands and transmit them to the drones

Watch how synchronised they are here
