As one of the first projects for What Is Missing?, Maya Lin designed this “Listening Cone,” which was installed at the California Academy of Sciences in 2009. The cone is a cast-bronze form lined with reclaimed redwood. It draws in visitors with the sounds of 50 extinct or endangered species and landscapes. Images, quotes, and statistics emerge on a video screen inside the cone. (via Maya Lin’s Memorial to Vanishing Nature: e360 Gallery)
