Coolest. Public Art. Ever.

Witness the Sunlight Poem Projector.

Depending on the day of the year, a different stanza shows up on the ground.

"Using a complex array of perforations, the pavilion's surface allows light to pass through creating shifting patterns, which-during specific times of the year-transform into the legible text of a poem. The specific arrangements of the perforations reveal different shadow-poems according to the solar calendar: a theme of new-life during the summer solstice, a reflection on the passing of time at the period of the winter solstice."

That's awesome.
