The New York Aquarium’s Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit begins outside, where a 1,000ft-long shimmering wall uses wind and reflected light to create a mesmerizing effect reminiscent of ocean waves. Created by environmental artist Ned Kahn, the wall is comprised of over 33,000 aluminum flappers which wrap the building’s exterior. Each night, a 5-hour-long lighting program, created by the designers at Focus Lighting, illuminates the wall with a carefully curated set of scenes inspired by ocean life.
