@mmarieden That two-story tall statue of Marilyn Monroe in Pioneer Court with her skirt blowing up in the air? That might have raised the bar on creepy art. Ditto the giant eyeball that was in Pritzker Park last year.
@artistmac I'm not a Marilyn fan. I thought it was beautiful, but seemed out-of-place. One commenter summed it up nicely, "Did we lose a bet with someone?"
@mrpelon1000 I take it you haven't seen the giant chrome bean just north of here. Or the band shell that looks like a giant pile of metal shavings. Millennium Park is full of the bizarre. But it brings in the tourists, so what do either of us know?
The city of Chicago routinely chlorinates its water. They put in even more after heavy storms force them to dump raw sewage into the lake; sometimes you can smell it after running a glass of water. I use a Brita pitcher;-)
The screens, since all that water has to cascade in front of them, but when they filmed the people whose faces appear on the towers, they made sure that the mouths aligned with a small spout about 1/3 of the way up on the towers. When the people on screen pucker their lips and the water flows from the spouts, it looks like they're spitting gallons of water. With the 80 and 90 degree weather we've been having the last week or so, the kids must be having a ball playing in the water;-)
That is so creepy. God I love artists.

The water being 'spit' by those ethnic faces is just nasty imo.

I wonder how they did choose the people whose faces went up on those two towers. Viewers? Anybody know?
