The idea of using the
steel to generate power came from one of Swansea's engineering
graduate students, who was looking into how sunlight interacts with titanium dioxide, often found in
paints and dyes.
The remaining projects, all loans, include Yvonne Domengue's red
painted steel sculpture Wind Waves (2009), which starting in January will spend a year on a park island east of the Sam Houston sculpture; Orly Genger's football - field - length
painted rope sculpture Boys Cry Too (2009), which will lay directly on the grass at Brays Bayou Shore for a year starting in March; and MicroPavilion: ReFRAME x FRAME, which is billed as «a motion - triggered sound installation based on environmental data» by the University of Houston
Graduate Design / BUILD Studio.
