Adding to this list Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels - the best of the genre IMO: https://www.diaart.org/visit/visit-our-locations-sites/nancy-holt-sun-tunnels https://www.diaart.org/visit/visit-our-locations-sites/nancy... I believe that most of these were sponsored by the DIA art foundation and had some administrative backing.

Does anyone know what those wire grids are in East Palo Alto, just west of the landfill? I can't tell if they're art or synthetic aperture radar. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4464497,-122.1130144,156m/data=!3m1!1e3 https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4464497,-122.1130144,156m/da...

  My guess is that they are antennas related to the Palo Alto airport which is right next door. Being in a circular pattern points to VOR, though I could not locate any database, either VOR or AM/FM broadcast that would list that location. The Palo Alto airport information [1] says: "+100 FT TRANSMISSION TWRS E OF ARPT". [1] https://www.airnav.com/airport/kpao https://www.airnav.com/airport/kpao
