art for the water tower above carmichael lynch

I was asked to come up with some concepts for the water tower that sits atop the Wyman building in Minneapolis. Eventually looking to projection, as it was the most economical medium and ideal for keeping the historic tower in it's natural state. This tower, which the public has named Rusty, faces the new Target Field Stadium, which opened last year and is the new home of the Minnesota Twins. Several other projection ideas are in the works, but this simple face has been the clear favorite so far, as it brings to life a structure which looks as if it could be alive already. Currently, we're working to have Rusty react in realtime to the games in the stadium, so that If the team wins, he can cheer and if they lose, he can cry.
