On either side of the stairway up to the building, a pedestal holds a concrete sphere, three feet in diameter. The spheres make a grand entrance out of what is, in fact, only an English-Department building; the spheres are isolated, and lonely in the plaza. PROJECT: Additional spheres are dropped into the plaza; they’re the same material as the existent spheres, they range from one foot to twelve feet. The existent spheres are subsumed into a field of spheres. The new spheres are cut into, so that they’re usable as furniture; light shines from within the spheres, illuminating the plaza at night. The plaza is filled with itself, filled with the elements that were there all the time. The spheres have replicated; the plaza turns on itself, like the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Now that the plaza is occupied by things and places, it can be occupied in turn by people. You sit within the glow of the spheres. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/queens_college/index.html">Queens College Spheres</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/1995/index.html">1995</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Buildings/index.html">Buildings</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Built/index.html">Built</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Klapper%20Hall%20Plaza/index.html">Klapper Hall Plaza</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Lights/index.html">Lights</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Luis%20Vera/index.html">Luis Vera</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Parasite-Virus/index.html">Parasite-Virus</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Replication-Multiplication-Proliferation/index.html">Replication-Multiplication-Proliferation</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Spheres-Globes-Worlds/index.html">Spheres-Globes-Worlds</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Streets%20and%20Plazas/index.html">Streets and Plazas</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Transparent-Translucent/index.html">Transparent-Translucent</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/United%20States/index.html">United States</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/30/02_S.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/30/02_S.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/30/02_S.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
