Catch some solar flares on the Lower East Side



EVG Twitter friend ‏@travishuggett shared this with us from earlier today...

"I watched a woman ride her bike up to the corner of Broome and Orchard, strap this can to a light post, and ride off. I looked inside and there is a tiny video screen playing footage of what I think are solar flares on the surface of the sun. It's weird. I love it."

Anyone happen to spot any of these solar-flare cans around?

Ah, thanks. The video installations are the work of Nora Breen.

The Dusty Rebel has documented more of them here.
