Turning the Place Over (26th Jan 08 at 6:33pm UTC)
I went to see this today, on my way home when I went out, and tbh it's simply amazing. How on earth they did it I don't know... It's Amazing!

Quote:
The most daring piece of public art ever commissioned in the UK, Turning the Place Over is artist Richard Wilson's most radical intervention into architecture to date, turning a building in Liverpool's city centre literally inside out. One of Wilson's very rare temporary works, Turning the Place Over colonises Cross Keys House, Moorfields. It runs in daylight hours, triggered by a light sensor.

Turning the Place Over consists of an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool city centre and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing 'window', offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours.

Looks cool, but a bit pointless if you ask me. {Tongue Out}

Your existence is pointless! {Tongue Out}

I know it's pointless, but thought I'd post it as it's so cool! {Cheesy}

Is it all upside down on the inside?

Theres a building in Orlando, Florida where everything is upside down, even the building. Its pretty interesting.
