Standing tall, as the largest building in the San Francisco skyline, Salesforce Tower is hard to miss, but if that wasn’t enough to draw attention, the permanent art installation at the top, created by San Francisco based artist Jim Campbell is sure to get the job done. The installation is intertwined around the crown of the tower, where it rises 150 feet above the last occupied floor. This installation can be seen from miles away, even in parts of East Bay.
Campbell is known as a trailblazer in computer technology as an artform, and his installation at the top of Salesforce Tower showcases how data and design can come together to create something uniquely beautiful. The installation at Salesforce Tower is called “Day For Night” and consists of 11,000 individual LED lights that
Embarcadero Center kicked off the summer season with Bar Car, an outdoor, mobile bar that serves drinks from an airstream! We kicked off the first Bar Car at Embarcadero Center event on Thursday, June 22nd and offered a free drink to Embarcadero Center clients who entered to receive a drink token, on a first come, first serve basis!
If you missed this event, don’t worry! We’ll be hosting Bar Car at Embarcadero Center on Wednesday, July 26th and work together to create dynamic color imagery all the way around the tower top. With help from strategically placed cameras around the city, the art installation will gather information from the day like wind patterns, weather, bird migration, and city life patterns, to create a lightshow that represents each day in San Francisco.
In addition to his ongoing LED art, Campbell also uses the installation to help the city of San Francisco and its residents celebrate special events. From Pride, to national holidays, to sports championships, the installation at Salesforce Tower is always there to help the city celebrate! Next time you are in the city after dark, keep an eye to the skies and see this amazing installation at work.
