Permanent Public Artwork Unveiled at Mineta San José International Airport
"Threshold" – an exploration of creation through technology and aesthetics
SAN JOSE, Calif. (Nov. 18, 2021) - The City of San José and Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) welcome the installation of a new artwork in the pre-security Arrivals Hall of Terminal B. The work is by Philip Beesley & Living Architecture Systems Group.
The artwork - Threshold - is a pair of sculptures enclosed in glass display cases, flanking the airport's arrival hall. The artwork offers a dream-like display of crystalline rays, clouds, and nest-like forms, composed of more than sixty thousand individually crafted sculptural elements. New kinds of digital fabrication were invented in the artist's studio for this work, including innovative heating and laser-cutting techniques. Intertwined throughout the sculpture are clusters of small glass orbs, filled with prototype liquids used by researchers investigating near-living cells, that reflect the surrounding colorful bustle of the airport.

"The Airport is excited to offer travelers such compelling art as they arrive and depart the Bay Area through San José," said John Aitken, Director of Aviation at SJC. "We are always looking for ways to enrich the airport experience for travelers and tap into the ingenuity of Silicon Valley. Threshold does just that, and we appreciate the investments at our airport in support of the arts."
"Threshold is an exquisite addition to the City's permanent public art collection, exemplifying innovation at the intersection of art and technology," says Kerry Adams Hapner, Director of Cultural Affairs. "The artwork will enrapture airport visitors."
Artist Philip Beesley said: "Nature and technology are intertwined within this artwork. Threshold offers a new kind of gateway to Silicon Valley."
