Esfera Cuantica Punto Cero, 2013 (Zero Point Quantum Sphere, 2013) - San Antonioi, TX - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

On the southside of San Antonio, immediately north of the Mission San Jose grounds, is where you find the old Mission Drive-In Theater marque standing tall at the intersection of Roosevelt Avenue and E. White Street going west and VFW Blvd going east (same road but the names change at the intersection.) This area of San Antonio has a very long history, even predating the 1700s when the Mission San Jose was built adjacent to what is now Mission Marque Plaza, where the former Drive-In screen has been for over 50 years. The City of San Antonio realizes the cultural significance of this property and the iconic outdoor movie theater screen that stands tall and visible blocks from its Roosevelt Ave. location.

Sebastian of San Antonio is the trade name for the artist known as Sebastian. He has over 100 pieces of art spread around San Antonio. His most noted work is the "Torch of Friendship," a tall red-orange metal abstract arch in the center of downtown San Antonio, just south of the Alamo Plaza at Commerce Street and S. Alamo Street. Here at the old Mission Drive-In Theater property, there are two abstract spheres, each mounted on a metal box base, that are created by Sebastian. The red sphere is on the right side of the screen, when you are facing the screen. The artwork is at the end of the privacy wall coming away from the movie screen.

This piece of art appears to be circular iron plates intersecting at angled directions that form a rounded geometric honeycombed effect of a spherical structure. The sphere is about 6 feet in diameter and painted a shade of red. The artwork is mounted on a simple metal base about 6x6x4 feet. The base is painted black. There is a small metal marker next to this artwork that reads as follows:
