Every day I pass the Death Star. At least that’s what I call it. It’s an outdoor sculpture along one of the office-lined roads of Greenwood Village – part of The Tech Center, a section of suburban Denver with a ton of corporate offices. Specifically, it is in front of an expensive private fitness center.
There is no prominent plaque describing the sculpture or naming the artist. So I am sticking with, “The Death Star.”
Public art is one of those things that often defies logic. In this instance, I’m not sure how a large disc that is disintegrating – or partially destroyed – relates to corporate office parks. But apparently a decision-making committee did.
Death Star sounds more interesting than “Disco Emergente” to me.

Apparently there is a modest space connection.
Thanks for the link, Parke. It was interesting to read info about the piece.
