Tau Ceti

When I attended the library conference in April, I passed Austin's tallest artwork.

I saw lots of people stopping to take photos.

Finally I had to give it a try.






It's 105 feet tall. It's a gradient color spectrum that extends up ten stories on the corner of a public parking garage. It's Tau Ceti by artist Josef Kristofoletti. The title comes from the name of a star in the constellation Cetus that is spectrally similar to our own star.

Here's a time lapse of Tau Ceti.

  3. This piece is very impressive. I loved that you included that time lapsed video. Really brought it to life. I imagine it would be hard ti upkeep though. It already seems to have lost its vividness and the gradients would be hard to match exactly. But what a beauty.

    1. We are starting to paint our house, and yesterday, when we went to get paint, we were told that the paint will fade.

      I can only imagine how much this piece will fade.

  5. This facade decoration looks wonderful and very imaginative! I like it very much when cities become "colourful" in this way!
