(Des Moines, IA) -- A new temporary, interactive art installation called "LAPS: A Journey Thru Time -Here and Now" has been installed near the Brenton Skating Plaza, downtown Des Moines.

The art features six large hourglasses that are nearly eight feet tall. The hourglasses are on display at 401 Robert D. Ray Drive March 31 through April 30.

Guests can use a small steering wheel on each hourglass. Lights and sounds will radiate from the hourglasses as well.

“We are excited to be the first in the country to bring this interactive outdoor art installation to Downtown and to our region, and we are eager to have our community engage with public artwork in this fun, interactive way,” said Tiffany Tauscheck, Chief Operations Officer at the Greater Des Moines Partnership and President of Downtown DSM, Inc. “LAPS will give Downtown residents, workers and visitors a chance to experience time in a unique way as they spend quality time with friends and family in Downtown DSM and take the opportunity to experience all Downtown has to offer in terms of restaurants, retailers, amenities and much more during the month of April.”

LAPS was designed by Olivier Landreville in collaboration with Serge Maheu. The interactive installation is a production of Init and is a part of a tour produced by Creos.
