How does this artwork elucidate its Design?
The sculpture consists of several elements. Three net structures hang from the ceiling  under skylights designed to cast shadows of the nets on the floor. The terrazzo flooring is part of the work, and is designed to look like shadows of each net sculpture. At night, the lighting transitions in color from indigo to orange. Computer controlled airflow makes the sculpture and skylight shadows appear to move with the wind.
The nets were created with braided fibers and knotted twine suspended from rings of steel armature. The nets' shapes are designed to look like clouds and reference local weather patterns and microclimates. The colors were chosen to be reminiscent of psychedelic music artwork and the Summer of Love, while also reflecting that the bay area as a contemporary hub of innovation and technology.The title, Every Beating Second, referring to a line by beat poet Allen Ginsberg, represents the artist's interest in heightening awareness of the present moment.
