This project will place a life-size bronze statue of Nikola Tesla in Palo Alto, California near California Avenue in the heart of the Silicon Valley. A preliminary model of the Tesla Statue has been created and once finalized will be casted and installed in open public view later this year. From the photos, I am guessing this statue is near the building that has the Bank of America ATMs, which is about a mile away from Tesla headquarters. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dorrian/a-statue-of-nikola-tesla-in-the-silicon-valley
I donated $350 which will also result in delivery to me of a 3.1" cast bronze copy of the statute. Might even glue the statue to the front of the hood LOL. Nikola Tesla deserves to have a statute in Palo Alto!
Oh, I thought we were already talking of a statue for Elon Musk (or, "St. Elon of Palo Alto" as one John Petersen labeled him) :tongue:
Good blog post on this with some more video animation shorts of Tesla pitching the VCs :wink: What Would it Look Like if Elon Musk Pitched a VC Today? Update - it's happening: Nikola Tesla Wi-Fi Statue Could Go To Mars | Geekosystem
I think the statue is few blocks from the Cal Ave./El Camino Real intersection and close to the Palo Alto Courthouse, not too far from the Page Mill underpass under Alma.
This is pretty amazing! Hope to drive up to Silicon Valley sometime next year! Definitely won't miss this
