Rumblings by Emily Stover
The steam plume at District Energy St Paul will be illuminated with projected light, color and animation in this first of 3 displays from Project Plume to build a deeper relationship with where our energy comes from.
Rumblings by Emily Stover, November 17 – December 8, 2015
Rumblings combines theatrical lighting, the work of six local poets, and the District Energy St. Paul steam plume to prompt people to build a deeper relationship with their energy sources. The public will be able to call a number (651-383-1378) and hear a recording of one of the poetic interpretations, which will trigger a light show spectacle on the tower. The poets include Jevin Boardman, Christina Collins, Dessa Darling, Ifrah Mansour, GE Patterson, and Matt Rasmussen. The work features music from Father You See Queen.
About the Plume Project
The Plume Project, a series of three temporary art works that will transform the signature District Energy St. Paul steam plume into a canvas for projected light displays. Each art work was designed by an individual artist as a member of the Plume Project team, using projection lighting, coloring, and animation to create an art and science project unlike any other in the world.
The projects will run from 5:00-10:00 PM on weeknights and 5:00-11:00 PM on the weekends. The three series represent almost eight weeks of arts programming, with each night promising something different for audiences. More information about the projects can be found at plumeproject.com or districtenergyplume.com.
