The Kinetic Wall is definitely a sight to behold. Majestic in scope and purpose, it is made up of "250,000 aluminium panels that are sensitive to wind currents," according to Gizmodo. Like a rippling lake, it also reflects its surroundings, which makes for a breathtaking installation.
Created by Urban Art Projects and artist Ned Kahn, the Kinetic Wall is located at Brisbane Airport. Currently being built next to the new domestic terminal short-term parking building, it is expected to be completed in 2011.
