Mural High Ground

On Friday, the Mural Arts Program plugged in Light Drift, a dazzlingly strange installation by artist J. Meejin Yoon along the Schuylkill near Market. This was a limited time deal; just three nights and it was gone. That's a shame because Light Drift woulda worked as a permanent or long-term fixture on the river, all these strange lighted pods floating on the dark water, occasionally shifting from minty green to pepperminty blue in unpredictable patterns. The lights swooned and bobbed, but stayed in formation. It brought to mind aliens and Mentos. Similar, seat-shaped pods were set up along the bank, and these shifted color with each new butt they encountered, which in turn influenced the color shifts on the river pods, via radio signals. So cool and strange.

I thought they should have kept them out, too. Maybe another year!

Saw this on a bike ride Friday morning. "One of my favorite murals in the city," said my riding buddy Justin Bauer.

Where is it?
