Seattle Monolith, Steel monolith sculpture at Magnuson Park in Seattle, United States.
The Seattle Monolith stands 270 centimeters tall, constructed from 16 gauge steel and L-beams, forming a precise geometric structure in black metal.
A group of artists named Some People installed this monolith on January 1, 2001, at Kite Hill, marking the beginning of its journey through multiple Seattle locations.
The sculpture references the mysterious object from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, connecting cinema and public art in an urban setting.
Visitors can find the monolith at its permanent location after several relocations, with public transportation and parking facilities available nearby.
Fifty individuals contributed to this art project, which began with a $250 budget raised through events including a concert called Apes of Wrath.
