Salva-Jelly: Electric Jellyfish
Green Bay, Wisconsin
Created by artist Brandon Minga, winner of a popular vote for public sculpture held by the Green Bay Public Arts Commission and Redevelopment Authority, unveiled in August 2021. Salva-Jelly is a large, floating, conceptual-art jellyfish made of salvage. Minga described it as "mechanically evolved" and "a midwestern industrial-inspired creation." During the day it resembles a pile of industrial junk, but at night the solar-panel-powered artwork triggers color-shifting LEDs within the sculpture's many clear plastic water bottles -- and it does suggest a bioluminescent jellyfish floating above a Green Bay vacant lot.
