Kissing Jets in Motion Graphics

Living in Capitol Hill?

Following the gossip?

You’ll surely have some kind of opinion on the ‘”kissing jets” art piece NYC-based Mike Ross designed for Sound Transit’s new Capitol Hill light rail station.

When it opens, that is.

In 2016.

I got to hear three folks from Sound Transit share the “jets” artwork in motion graphics.

Here’s what it would look like if you were approaching the underground rail tracks:


According to a Seattle Times article about Mike Ross’ selection for Capitol Hill station’s public art, the Capitol Hill art budget is $550,000, including $110,000 for Ross.

A couple of questions—

  • Do public comments matter?
  • How much, if so?
  • Should they?
  • What about the “integrity of the artistic vision?”

Curious.
