The Crown Fountain @ Millennium Park

Another delightfully strange addition to Chicago's public art stage. The faces of 1,000 Chicagoans are projected on giant screens one at a time. At the end of each person's display, they purse their lips and water shoots out of their mouths.

Jaume Plensa has just finished a big exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and I was honoured to meet him. I love his work and hope to come to Chicago just to see this sometime . What else is there in Chicago?

@Technodrom3 In the long run, this 17 million dollar piece is probably going to impact human progress more than any of the material items you suggested.

$17,000,000 and there's still problems with the LED display? :(

The architect who built this fountain came to my school and told us all about this fountain being built, it was very interesting finding out how much work went into this!

went there for vacation last summer! did you go through the part with the cool statues and objects, i loved the lego dragon, it was really nice!

i didnt get videos but about 4,200 pics in a week hah.

i was there for an hour and for some reason the screen was neon green and started changing colors every 5-10mins.
