"Have you seen the big blue eyes staring down on downtown Boston, or the tentacles unfurling from the windows of an empty building in Downtown Crossing? Or remember the ever-so-famous Mr. Pinks, the giant inflatable figures that clung to the buildings and trees of downtown Boston last winter? Winteractive, the initiative behind the quirky downtown Boston installations, is returning for another season."
""We devised Winteractive three years ago as an opportunity to kind of prod people out into public, throw on a jacket or extra layer of clothes, get your heated gloves, and be able to take in international quality level of public art exhibits," said Micheal Nicolas, President of the Downtown Boston Alliance. Presented by the Downtown Boston Alliance, Winteractive installations have been popping up throughout the week."
Large-scale outdoor art installations are being rolled out across downtown Boston as part of the Winteractive program, with exhibits on display through March 29. The program is presented by the Downtown Boston Alliance and features artists from seven countries across four continents. Installations include the Big Other collection of gigantic eyeballs atop buildings, lifelike glowing statues titled Artificial Humans in Downtown Crossing that reflect on AI and device use, and interactive pieces such as the e/motion see-saws. Past popular attractions included giant inflatable figures nicknamed Mr. Pinks. The program aims to draw people outdoors and encourage engagement with public art.
