Rainbow Machine is a public art work by American artist Joseph Burlini, located on the campus of Marquette University in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.^[1]

Description

The work consists of four tall steel poles affixed with moving holographic arms. Each pole is 12 feet tall and has a six-foot arm on each side that swivels at the center point. The face of each arm is covered with a holographic decal that reflects light, color and motion as the arm moves in the breeze. The work is oriented toward the Marquette Interchange a short distance from the entrance of the Haggerty Museum of Art.^[1]

History

While fabricated in 1993, Rainbow Machine was not installed in Milwaukee until 2000. According to the Haggerty Art Museum, it was previously installed on Michigan Avenue in Chicago.^[1]

Burlini is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and maintains a studio in Arlington Heights, Illinois.^[2]
