Blowhole
‘Blowhole’ is a 15-metre high wind-powered sculpture designed by Duncan Semler and built by Black Art at a cost of $700,000. As the wind blows through, armature and cups interact with each other to form patterns, colours and shadows. Like an anemometer on a yacht’s mast, Blowhole’s various parts spin in different directions. The colourful results are dictated by the whims of the location’s prevailing winds. In 2008 two of the cups came loose in high winds a matter of concern since it is located in the middle of a children’s playground, it has since been serviced and fixed.
