The September 2016 installation date has been rescheduled for this spring.  A broken foot has postponed the landing and mission of this machine!

Bio Scenic Travel Machine, Cyto-Squad to land at Silverwood Park, St. Anthony, Minnesota in May!

The Bio Scenic Machine will offer a kaleidoscope optical instrument to discover and explore the ecology and environment of Silverwood Park – mirrored reflections of plants, microscopic images of organisms, and other biological specimens – through the seasons.

The Travel Machine is here to research and contain a collection and record of life on earth – the natural world of Silverwood Park – and share it with visitors of the park and “unspecified” recipients.

Thank you to the panel- Eileen Cohen/Park Art Educator and Exhibitions Coordinator, Amy Toscani/Minneapolis Sculptor, Alyssa Baguss/Arts Programming Coordinator,  Tom Moffatt and additional park District staff.
