Wisdom is Supreme

Andrew Byrom

This 100ft wide typographic statement was constructed on a relatively unused space that faces away from the academic buildings on APU campus, but directly onto the Metro Gold Line. At this point trains are running slowly as they pull into Azusa Station - giving passengers an eye-level view of the design. It creates a moiré effect when viewed from the moving train and the typography appears to pulsate and shimmer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Yv0F7bzdU Project Manager: Terry Dobson
