Here's some interesting news from Adobe: They're going to unveil a piece of public art on top of their building in San Jose. It sounds like a really interesting piece of art, but so far no pics so no telling how it will be received. The fact that it's going to be on top of a building, includes lighted elements, and includes motion makes it a challenge for the artist to delineate it from signage.. but I'm betting he pulls it off.

The art will include a coded message and details of the mysterious message and why the public should care to decode it are supposed to be revealed at http://www.sanjosesemaphore.org/. The irony.. that a piece of art that's about communication (or hidden communication.. ) is tied to a web site that isn't online yet (so no communication coming from it) is not lost even if it's not intentional.

The unveiling date? Aug 7.. other art stuff going on in San Jose at that time? You bet.

If you've been to San Jose you may have noticed the art around the Cisco buildings. I don't have any photos and can't find any.. but they've place router, switch, and hub icons all around the public transit stops and around the roads. Some folks might say that the icons aren't art because they're used as "decoration" on everyday benches and walls.. but hey, art is in the eye of the beholder, eh? And how many folks are going to say this art on top of the Adobe building is just a sign?
