A 22-minute walk south from our cottage to Mission Bay, directly in front of the Chase Center Arena (1 Warriors Way, San Francisco), is a cool, free outdoor public art display called “Seeing Spheres," created by famous Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. It's an array of five 15-feet tall shiny mirrored spheres in a central space in front of the building. You can go and see your reflection multiplied in them and have fun and take some cool photos and videos. It's kind of like funhouse mirrors!

Together they produce a surprising environment of multilayered, reflected spaces in which the same people and settings appear again and again, visible from various unexpected angles. “Seeing spheres is a public space that contains you and contains multitudes,” said Eliasson in a comment on Instagram. “We often think of public space as empty, negative space in the city, viewed from a car or crossed on the way to somewhere else. Seeing spheres offers a place to pause, where you see yourself from outside, as a participant in society.”
