Description of View	Detail view of upper connectors
Notes	Project Location: 9th and Figaroa Streets (888 South Figaroa Street), Los Angeles, CA. Sponsor/Developer: Private contributions with support from the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency. Project Description: This work, made of bronze, copper and stainless steel, portrays outer space imagery in the form of two long conical shapes which encompass a time capsule. The work consists of outer space imagery, a time capsule, and references to technology and biology. The work is located on a corner plaza. A circle and a superimposed triangle are delineated by color tones of concrete. These shapes form the base for several metallic structures. One structure resembles a satellite, another a large spring or helix, and the third a bronze axle with wheels. A shadow pattern or elliptical form is also superimposed on the base. The structures resemble a 'Jules Vern' futuristic contraption that combines artifacts of machinery from the past with futuristic symbols suggesting space travel. Project History: This project was funded through private contributions. The developer for the site where the artwork is located had used more square feet of space for his project than was permitted by the city. The city required the developer to repay the city in the form of an artwork for the site. The Los Angeles Community Redevelopment agency handled the selection process.
