The landmark pendulum in the former Gilbert Science Center was re-imagined and re-engineered for the expanded Froiland Science Center and installed in 2016.  The three-story kinetic sculpture is made from glass, bronze, epoxy terrazzo, LED lighting, and stainless steel.  Howard and Eunice Hovland (both class of 1950) gave the lead gift for the project.  The pendulum mechanism designed by Eric Wells, physics professor, and Darren Fujitani, science equipment technician.  The design interprets the intersections between science and art, time and motion, beauty and patterns.  Described by the artist: "The 110-pound sculpted and cast bronze bob is inscribed with axial and rotational lines. The pendulum swings above a tempered glass disk which furthers the time-based metaphors with the etched form of infinite fractal shapes overlaying the fibonacci sequence seen though the glass in the epoxy floor. The base of the pendulum contains a three-tiered 16-color epoxy floor with a series of LED lights driven in sequence by the movement of the pendulum. The floor echoes the sky at night and the sky describes the motion of the earth in the floor below."
