<h2>Artists at Science Center Inspired by the Four Elements </h2>
TORONTO, Dec.  9, 2005 - When Ontario Science Centreâs new âGrand Centralâ entryway
   opens in mid-2006, visitors will be greeted by three pieces of
   installation art that combine the four natural elementsâearth, air,
   fire and waterâwith artistic inspiration, The Toronto Star reports.
<p>
   The centre chose two native Canadian artists, Steve Mann and David
   Rokeby, and Pennsylvania artist Stacy Levy to display in the new
   space.
<p>
   Mannâs work, FUNtain, is âan interactive fountain that uses a water
   pump and hollow pipes to generate music when visitors press their
   hands over the opening of a pipe,â the newspaper writes.
<p>
   âThere isnât a lot of inventiveness in art [these days], but art is
   about invention. Art, science and technology inform and influence each
   other,â Mann tells the Star.
<p>
   Levyâs installation, Lotic Meander, uses black granite and polished
   stones to represent a river. âItâs just great that this science centre
   is sophisticated enough not to draw a line between art and science,â
   the Star quoyes Levy.

   Rokebyâs cloud is a kinetic sculpture hanging from the ceiling.
