Description and history
The sculpture's name is a reference the 2010 Chile earthquake which may have resulted in a 1.26 microsecond shortening of the days on Earth.[1] The sculpture's shape was inspired by NOAA's graphic simulation of the tsunami caused by the earthquake. The sculpture was hung outside the Denver Art Museum between the museum and the Civic Center Park's Greek Amphitheater. It was installed in Sydney in 2011, Amsterdam in 2012, and Singapore in 2014, and Durham in 2015.[2] From May to October 2016, the work is installed in Quartier des Spectacles in Montreal.[3][4][2]

«1.26» — скульптура, выполненная художницей Джанет Эчельман из высокопрочных сетей в жанре паблик-арта для первого американского биеннале, проходившего в Денвере в июле 2010 года. Скульптура копирует трёхмерную модель цунами в Тихом океане, созданную НУОАИ после мощного землетрясения в Чили, результатом которого стало увеличение скорости вращения планеты, повлёкшее в свою очередь уменьшение продолжительности дня на 1,26 миллисекунды[1][2][3][4].Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
