"This art installation by design firm PROJECTiONE uses approximately 20,000 pool noodles to form a flowing interactive landscape. The &amp;#039;SoftMatter&amp;#039; art display was created in commemoration of Muncie, Indiana&amp;#039;s 100th anniversary celebration. White polyethylene foam rods were custom cut, heat-welded together and precisely placed on top of a plywood platform to form a display with no specific intended function besides encouraging discovery from those around it.  The installation features three different zones including a main central path, a nine foot tall climbable tiered area and finally a forest of standing pool noodles. An outdoor stage also faces the installation where people can sit and observe from a distance. The project and its rippling, waterfall-like topography became and instant hit with local children, who immediately began climbing over and exploring the structure."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
