new east village park art

i received an interesting email at my workplace today from the folks who are putting together some public art at the new east village park in downtown san diego. i work with a geophysical research group at the institute of geophysics and planetary physics at scripps institution of oceanography, and we work with continuous GPS site data for earthquake research - the stations measure fault slip rates, basically. the art commissioners are interested in placing one of our GPS sites along a fault line that runs through the park. unfortunately these sites cost around $30,000 to install, so i'm doubtful that it will happen. still, it's encouraging to see the city, and artists, working to bring together science and art in a public space.
