Site #6: -122 Degrees, 16 Minutes, 27 Seconds
We stopped at one of the main installation areas for the Bayennale: The event had taken over a Jack London Square parking lot and the Port of Oakland filled the lot with shipping containers. Artists from all over the world, including Oakland, Finland, England, Germany and Australia exhibited a wide range of projects. One group created a massive pinhole camera out of the container, while another had converted the space into an enormous waterbed. The most popular installation was created by the Finns: a propane-heated sauna, complete with a cold dunk in a water-filled oil drum.
