The Tampa Convention Center is now “three times more gorgeous” with three new public art pieces on display.

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor and other city leaders unveiled the new works of art Monday morning, which represent iconic elements of the region.

“Each artwork is inspirational and unique,” Castor said in a statement. “This exceptional facility now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors and locals alike with iconic art that not just enhances their experience but helps tell the story of Tampa — from the natural resources we rely on, like our waterways, to the myths and legends that are still with us today and have shaped our traditions, like Gasparilla.”

Here’s a look at the new works of art you can find at the Tampa Convention Center.

When Smoke Rises

When Smoke Rises is a 62-foot-tall ship mast towering over the center’s rotunda, symbolizing the city’s connection to the sea and how the waters surrounding Tampa shape its economy and culture.

“The mythical legends of pirates invading our port city continue to be passed down and are part of the traditions that make our city special, like the Gasparilla and the Buccaneers,” Castor said.

Recurrence

Recurrence is a wave-shaped structure that reflects the tides in Tampa.

It brings the outside environment into the Tampa Convention Center, representing the meeting point of the natural world and our built environment.

The art piece also interprets local tidal patterns and uses data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to express the movements using technology.

“You could literally spend hours just learning about the meaning behind them, behind them and everything that went into designing them,” Castor said.

It was created by Luftwerk.

Digital Fulminology

Digital Fulminology is a light sculpture powered by a dynamic algorithm that simulates and animates lightning, which, as you know, occurs regularly in the Tampa Bay area.

The artwork explores different types of activity, including cloud-to-ground strikes, lightning within clouds and the movement of charged particles.

Mayor Castor says the display changes every time, and it will never be repeated.
