If you can’t see the northern lights in person, you might find inspiration in a Seattle art installation. The piece by artist Ginny Ruffner is now on permeant display at the National Nordic Museum. The exhibit—a 20-foot by 10-foot wall of 34,560 LED lights—evokes the aurora borealis using AI and technology. Ruffner, known for her globally exhibited glass sculptures, melds art and tech in this dazzling display.
Why does it matter in Minot? We make a point to point out celebrations of “northern” things, particularly when they collide with Scandinavian things. In a place like Minot, we’ve got to make do with what we’ve got. Also, art! It seems to make the news and tell positives stories about places. Hmm?
