The public art display, an exhibition of four large scale man-made waterfalls is the city's largest public art endeavor since 2005 when artist Christo's "Gates" hung 23 miles of Central Park footpaths with thousands of saffron drapes.
In this artist rendering provided by The Public Art Fund/Olafur Eliasson, "The New York City Waterfalls" is shown. The falls, created by Eliasson, an artist known for using technology to create indoor weather systems that incorporate elements like temperature, moisture, aroma and light, will roar at the Brooklyn base of the Brooklyn Bridge and three other NYC locations from June 26 - Oct. 13, 2008.
