SEATTLE — A new art installation at the Seattle Center uses solar power to light up at night.
Called the “Sonic Bloom,” it’s a cluster of five 33-feet tall flowers made of fiber glass and metal. Solar panels on top power LEDs on the underside in changing patterns of color. Each flower also sounds a different audio tone.
The Seattle Times reports Seattle City Light covered the $300,000 cost of the project as part of its “green up” program to promote renewable energy.
