In the brochure of
Seattle Public Art (PDF), Sonic Bloom is item number 21. It is located at the northeast corner of the
Pacific Science Center next to the
Boeing IMAX Theater.
In addition to being art pieces, they are custom solar panels to generate power. Each of the five flower tops contains 48 solar cells that produce 4.6 Wp (Watts at peak production) for a total of 1,104 Wp for all five flowers. The electricity generated will make the flowers dance with light through the evening and sing through the day.
