So cool!

Nine, stunning 'Design in Motion' installations from Seattle's design community.

" This year, we invited Seattle designers to participate in the SDF Rumble, a collaborative workshop to rapidly generate ideas for large-scale, inhabitable installations to be constructed for public display September 6 & 7, 2014 at the Seattle Design Festival. Designers joined up with contractors and activity partners to offer up bold interpretations of the Design in Motion theme. The subjects of inspiration for each of these installations were: information, material, performance, science, digital technologies, the body, mind, transportation, and pop-up! Come watch a performance, play games, try out parkour, and interact with all the SDF Rumble installations at the SDF Block Party. "

Ongoing Art Installations at Occidental Park in Pioneer Square in Seattle

If you get a chance today head down to Occidental Park in Pioneer Square in Seattle. You can do an "art" scavenger hunt of sorts and check out Suzanne Tidwell's Knitted Trees (the trees with "sweaters"), Gallery (206) "an art phone booth" by Curator Todd Jannausch and various artists and the Honeycomb Clouds by Celeste Cooning, 3 different art installations in the park. Today is the last day for the tree sweater art installation but the the phone booth and honeycomb ones will go through August 15th and August 20th, respectively. Hopefully the weather will hold so you can enjoy it raindrop free!
