I would love to thank Paul Woolford and Ned Kahn for the hundreds of thousands of sequin-like discs that welcome everyone to San Francisco. The 12-feet deep, 2-feet thick kinetic sculpture called the “Wind Portal” stops my heart everytime I find myself lucky enough to experience it. Located at San Francisco Airport and SFO BART Station, the discs lap over one another 24 hours a day with help from the station’s train- and plane-induced wind.

This is only one of many life-size installations by Mr. Kahn. His art “incorporate[s] flowing water, fog, sand and light to create complex and continually changing systems.”
