DESCRIPTION:This Saturday Artist Adriana Varella will be in downtown Palo Alto's Lytton 
 Plaza in front of the world famous sculpture Digital DNA, slated for 
 removal by the city. She is there to discuss the significance of the 
 endangered sculpture as a symbol of Eros (sexual instinct) and Thanatos 
 (death instinct) and inviting visitors to the plaza questions to prompt 
 thought  and opinions in an OPEN MIC performance.\n\nWhat would you like 
 Palo Alto to look like? How do you think there can be more public input 
 into the process? \n\nShe will be asking how they feel about public art and 
 how it can be a choice of the people.\n11 to 6pm Saturday February 24th. 
 \n\nAt the same location February 25, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. \nArtistic 
 intervention titled Egg Puja with international performance artist Paula 
 Kohatsu. \n\nKohatsu (see in photos below) will offer an Egg Puja to honor 
 the sculpture Digital DNA. The sculpture, slated to be removed by the city 
 of Palo Alto, is in the shape of a seven foot tall egg and is a symbol of 
 Eros (sexual instinct) and Thanatos (death instinct). A puja is a ritual of 
 devotional worship. \n\nThe ritual will bring audience participation and a 
 collective wrapping process of the artist to the egg as a sacrifice of 
 endurance to keep the art alive where it belongs and where it has been for 
 the past 13 years. \n\nThe artist will be tied to the sculpture by the 
 public. \n\nFor more information on the sculpture and/or to sign a petition 
 to save it from the city ordered demolition visit URL below.\n\n\n\n\n
