S.F. deserves visionary public art: Give ‘Facsimile’ a break

“Facsimile” mixes images of the street, live transmissions from inside the building and hundreds of hours of scenes filmed by the architects, and displays them on a screen designed to travel from one end of the building to the other. It explores liveness, privacy and windows in a unique amalgam of television, video art, cinema, the Internet and architecture.
