R-77th St, Bay Ridge

If you take the Q or B trains (or to a lesser degree the N or D) into Manhattan from Brooklyn, you may have noticed the weird animations and bright lights just before you pass over the Manhattan Bridge.
I thought originally it was part of some advertizing campaign, but it's just art... for art's sake!
The piece is called 'Masstransiscope' and was done by Bill Brand. It is constructed by the abandoned Myrtle Ave. station and was originally unveiled back in 1980. It's been recently cleaned and re-installed for all the straphangers to see.
Only showing on the subway, or here.
