PULSE FIELD
at wichita art museum
A flat datum is created by aligning the tops of all poles to create a regularized constant against the undulating natural topography of the sloped berm. This constructed field, with pulsing light beacons mounted atop, aids the viewer in perceiving scale, dimension and form of the land contour..
