Awesome stuff. I gotta go see these when they're all done. So cool looking. The spider-ish one reminds me of this other piece of public art of spiders I've seen. I think it might've been in London, England. Not sure now.

That is what I was talking about.
Is this permanent, or just temporary installations?

well to me these things look like :
thing 1 - golum (sp) from Lord of the Rings (I want precious ... ),
thing 2 - alien from War of the Worlds.

The silver person thingy reminds of Terminator 2 when the T-1000 takes the shotgun shell to the head and it just explodes (but miracuosly reforms)

Doom (circa 1995 ... not a gamer but did a lot of slacking during first year) was the first thing that came to mind.

Parking for 1090 cars!
My daughter makes me go as far away as possible from the first one as I take her to day care. It freaks her out if I try to get close. A few more days and she'll probably be wanting to climb on it.

Lovely - we seem to be getting art components that work really well in this latest around of condo construction (e.g. Murano, Malibu).

Bar none my favourite piece of public art installed in the city of Toronto in recent memory!
