Center of the Universe

About
The Center of the Universe is a 36" diameter metal art piece that looks like a manhole cover. It is designed for participants to stand on the art and take a picture of their feet and the art piece. There is a 26 foot arrow set at an angle and pointing to the Center of the Universe. During the day the arrow can be seen from a distance as it is painted green. At night the arrow is lit with green plasma LED string lights (the same as "The Question" in 2025).
