SOLAR RESERVE installation @ Linc. Ctr. "Here Comes the Sun"

Lincoln Center Plaza has incorporated added sunshine with the recent installation of John Gerrard's SOLAR RESERVE.  Gerrard (b. Ireland 1974) is an installation artist known for utilizing digital simulations mounted on large sculptures.  This intriguing & delightful video presents a solar reserve station in Nevada.  The station contains a central tower structure surrounded by 10,000 mirrors which reflect azure blue and form a surrounding circular shape.  As you watch, the mirrors turn towards the sun's rays immitating nature's ingenious beauty of a sunflower, shifting with the traversing of the sun.  The video changes hourly to reflect varying aerial views.  Hopefully, more solar reserve stations will become part of our landscape & staple energy sources.  Thankfully, SOLAR RESERVE is on view outside Lincoln Center; voila le soleil.
