The City of Palo Alto Public Art Program will launch its third interactive media art festival, Code:ART, a three-evening<br />
event that re-imagines Palo Alto’s underutilized plazas, alleys, and public spaces through interactive light, sound, and<br />
motion. The festival will feature a major interactive media artwork anchoring the festival and six Urban Interventions<br />
activating or reimagining downtown storefronts, alleys, parking lots or blank walls in new and inventive ways. The<br />
artworks will invite play and participation, engaging area locals in an event that outwardly reflects the creative<br />
community and culture that thrives here.<br />
Major Artwork at King Plaza, 250 Hamilton Ave,<br />
Palo Alto, CA.<br />
Questions for the Curious Orchard by artist Nate Mohler is a<br />
site-specific immersive interactive artwork that visually responds<br />
to visitors in a playful and engaging way. Taking inspiration from<br />
complex networks and energy exchange between living beings<br />
occurring in the natural world, such as the contagiousness of<br />
laughter or tree roots communicating in a forest, the installation<br />
invites visitors to gift something to it, such as their heartbeat or<br />
best dance moves, that will animate the installation.<br />

New Exhibit Opening <strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2023</strong><br />
For more information, visit: paloaltozoo.org/dinosaurgarden<br />
This fall, the Junior Museum is opening a brand new exhibit outside in the Courtyard! The California Dinosaur Garden<br />
will feature life-sized dinosaur and animal sculptures, prehistoric plants, and interactive exhibits – including a fossil<br />
dig. The exhibit will provide visitors with a glimpse of life during the Cretaceous period, which occurred more than 66<br />
million years ago. This was a time when many different dinosaurs lived in what is now California, and they shared a<br />
verdant wooded landscape with lots of different animals. This rich variety of life was critical for a healthy planet then,<br />
just as it is today. Come climb on a dinosaur, dig up a marine reptile, and touch fossils as you learn about life in<br />
prehistoric California!<br />
