Travelling Light (AKA a blue circle)

Has anyone asked an inumbant alderman or the mayor if the people who approved this choice of submission still have their jobs?

[TurdFerguson]

Looks like a giant dyson fan to me. Assuming it can move a proportional amount of air both quietly and safely then it's good value.

Yeah, it should have been placed perpendicular to roadway and have a natural gas flames shooting towards the middle. The ultimate burning ring of fire that you can drive through.

Don't forget the ramp on either side.

It looks like you're making some art! Why don't you make it look like me?

[albertGQ]

I don't like the art or the price tag for it.

[Mazrim]

Wasn't the fish on Glenmore Trail also obtained through this 1% of budget process? That's not one piece of art.

I'm happy they want to force them to spend some money on public art in these projects. It's a slippery slope if people don't like one piece and ask for this 1% to be dropped to 0.5% or even lower, and suddenly we're back where we started....bland infrastructure.

I think they just need to spend another $1.8 million to get it finished in time for our next Olympic bid.

My favorite thing in this thread is how Dion compared it to a hoola hoop, and then provided a picture of a set of hoola hoops for reference.

First thing I thought of was Nuva Bling

It's here to "Glam up Calgary's Clam"

I'm proud that this city is completely on the bleeding edge of sexual awareness.

First we have a giant dildo plunging into the back side of the downtown core

Then we added a enormous c$$k ring in the North.

I can't wait to see the massive butt plug rising majestically out of the downtown core.

Maybe we can put a massive lubricant bottle in the NE

I have no idea what you're talking about....you must be single though?

I was thinking that it looks more like a big girl's IUD.

Oh excuse me Mrs Barr you dropped something

I see that thing as a target for remote control airplanes.

I drove by it back from Edmonton on the weekend and honestly thought it was the structural support for something else that was going to go up there. My noodle was baked when I found out that was the finished product.

Now - given the history of the Peace Bridge... I'll say this - people will hate it now, and then grow to love it for some weird cult-like reason. 50 years from now, it will be a part of Calgary and citizens will prevent it from being removed or torn down.

[KevanGuy]

What I find most irritating about this art is that the city paid a German designer for it! If they have to spend the 1% they should at least keep the money in the local economy.

[Bane]

I'm looking forward to when U of C engineering students suspend a car from it.

[calumniate]

Worst reinvention of the wheel ever

[burn_this_city]

I hope someone flies a helicopter through it.

[CaptainCrunch]

They need to build a big boy statue with a stick standing next to it. Then it will be an awesome and crass piece of true garbage art.
