Outdoor art installations that run on solar power are at the mercy of the winter skies in Shoreline, so the Big Brother exhibit at Shoreview Park has been reduced to one showing a day.

Shoreline Public Art coordinator David Francis says that they have reduced the daily showing to just 4:30-4:45 (no screenings at 5:09, 5:30, or 6:00) so that the battery will have the best chance to benefit from any sunlight.

However, you had best see it this week.

"Even if there is no re-charge from sunlight, the battery should last another week", said Francis. "No guarantees after January 12 and if it is not showing at 4:30pm after that time we will probably dismantle for the winter and try again in spring / summer."
