Don't miss the Sonic Bloom by Se-
attle artist Dan Corson, located just
outside the IMAX Theater. These five
playful solar flowers stand up to 33
feet tall and absorb the sun's energy
- reflecting it at night with patterned
LED lighting. Sensors located in
each flower are triggered by people's
movement, as the 40' high by 20'
wide super-sized flowers set off a
chorus of interactive harmonic tones.
Each flower has its own distinctive
set of notes, simulating a singing
chorus and engaging the public. It
is possible to compose and conduct
music together, or just by walking
through to randomly set off a har-
monic sequence. This interactive
choral sound component works both
day and night providing a dynamic
and ever-changing sonic landscape.
The exhibit is accessible 24 hours a
day, no ticket required.
Largely because of its proximity to
Seattle Center, Lower Queen Anne
is home to some 100 restaurants,
bars, fast-food joints and boutiques.
Get out and explore this great part
of the city!
