Jim Sanborn's other encrypted sculpture, Cyrillic Projector, is located on the campus of the University of North Carolina Charlotte. It has a lamp inside that shines through mirror-image Cyrillic text so that when the letters hit the building they're facing the right way.
I saw it a few years ago, and it's intriguing. I went on a Saturday afternoon and had no problems with campus security. Not sure what would happen if you showed up late at night.

From a construction aspect, it's cool how he was able to get the letters cut in the steel (it's 1" thick), presumably with a water jet, and then get the panels curved without distorting them.
