Description
Heart Beacon, installed at the Emergency Coordination Center (3732 Southeast 99th Avenue or 9911 Southeast Bush Street) in Portland's Lents and Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhoods, has been described as a "pulsing blue egg"; the artists have called it an "interactive enclosure of light, color and sound that senses and artistically displays the heartbeat of visitors".[1][2] It is made of stainless steel, acrylic panels, and electrical components, and measures 18' 1 7/8" x 10' 5". The sculpture cost $220,333 and was funded by the city's Percent for Art program.[1][2] According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the work, Heart Beacon "takes the literal and metamorphic 'pulse'" of Portland's community and serves as a "symbol of hope and a potent reminder of the resilience of the individual taking inspiration from the life-saving mission" of the center.
