Sculpture on the RIT Campus

Here's another installment in my series featuring sculptures on the campus of RIT in Rochester, New York.  This is a large metal sculpture, displayed outdoors.


 I do not know who created this sculpture, its title, or when it was installed.  It is located in the northwestern part of the campus.



As the photo above indicates, its location is close to the Vignelli Center for Design Studies building.



I'll add the name of the building pictured in the background as soon as I find out what it is.



The photo above shows the sculpture with Institute Hall, a LEED certified building, in the background.   If you enjoyed this post, please say so in the comments and use the social media buttons below to share it.  Thanks!

Infinity, The Sculpture

This sculpture, which I believe is titled Infinity, can be found on the campus of RIT in Rochester, NY.  When viewed from the correct angle, the metallic portion on top forms the infinity sign.  Occasionally one may observe the infinity sign in the shadow it casts as well.

I have been told the the metal portion on top slowly spins.  I can verify that I have seen it in different positions, but if it spins automatically, it is so slow as to be imperceptible. 


Personally, it reminds me of a bottle opener.


 I do not know who the sculptor is, or when it was installed, but it would be great if someone would tell me in the comments below.
