Many contorted “street light sperm” danced through the “generation facility” of the Georgetown Steam Power plant. A giant “cleaving egg” projection recounted the turning wheel of the steam plant’s engines as well as a egg dividing.Views of the complex overlapping patterns can be seen from the upper floor. The circle of light had rotating bisecting lines, mimicing a cleaving egg as well as referencing the giant flywheels in the other room.
