This is a kinetic sculpture by Reuben Margolin entitled "Square Wave" that hangs in the entrance of the Aquarium of the Pacific. runsamuck has a subscription to Woodworking Magazine; recently they had a feature article on this artist - he started by watching caterpillars and went back to school to learn calculus in order to design some of his moving sculptures. This was installed when the AOP had an exhibit on waves in 2007 - the exhibit's been replaced but the sculputure stayed. If you'd like to see it in action, go here and click "Waves."
