Bank of America Intervention @ Bank of America Plaza LA!!

"pool hopping" on the island of the bull

Artist Mark Skwarek recently risked arrest to intervene at Bank of America Plaza LA. This was part of LA RePlay by UCLA's Grad Digital Media Gallery.

While prepare for the pool hopping performance Skwarek made an unforeseen discovery....
A giant augmented vortex was postioned exactly over the Bank of America atrium. At great risk Skwarek focused his work on documenting the incredible anomaly. Full documentation can be seen of the project site.

This image was constructed form screen captures taken at the Bank of America Plaza.
