Manifestations
Cathenge is a monumental interactive, immersive Space Cat Temple — six tall, luminous Catolith sculptures arrayed in a circle evoking the standing stones of Stonehenge. Created by artist David Normal through the Institute of Crazyology, Cathenge operates simultaneously as public art, interactive sound sculpture, and elaborate mythological construction.
