Wind can be experienced sensorially but is visible only when it causes an object to move. Gustafson, Baer, and CMG’s project reveals the shape of the wind as it moves across the contour of the landscape. Visible from Highway 101 just north of the San Francisco Airport, the hill at Candlestick Point is a remnant of the natural landscape. Interspersed with natural contours and vegetation, terraces have been carved into the hill, making the mountain an oasis in a very urban area, the last vestige of nature before the city center. Sound chairs and several hundred mylar spinners enhance the visitors experience of the wind. A temporary installation, this site exemplifies the goals of Revelatory Landscapes in that it reveals aspects of our cultural and physical landscape and educates the public about the significance of these elements in our local environment.
