The evidence of things not seen I went to see the gates by
Christo in Central Park yesterday.
The hemmed saffron panels—or curtains; banners; skirts—hang at the angle determined by wind prevailing, and move when the breeze freshens. Where one panel hangs still in shadow, a second, not ten feet away, will shake and flap, moved by the unseen into the brightening light.
Christo devised and built instrumentation to detect the invisible: The unseen, moving over the face of the city.
Christo enabled the city to blush.

Who did the drawings?
The site does not say.
