The Glowing Beacon of Brainy-Bland Oregon: The Tecotosh Tale from Portlandia

Venture merely stones-throw from Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University, and you'll find a fusion of steel, glass, and nightlights towering overhead. The artwork called Tecotosh was born in 2005 by the imaginative artist, Ed Carpenter, and takes its place at the intersection of SW 4th and College. This eye-catcher is in the loving care of the Northwest Center for Engineering, Science, and Technology. Tecotosh boasts a stainless steel truss, cables, snazzy hardware, laminated dichroic glass, and multiples LED lights. This sculpture blends a technical, futuristic flare with the vibrant hues of dichroic glass, making it a can't-miss for tech nerds and art lovers alike. It's better viewed from far off, as trying to climb it is like trying to wrangle a kitesurfing hippopotamus, if you get my drift!
