Here's a pic via The New York Times as well as video from You Tube of a symbolic protest by Italian artist Graziano Cecchini. He unloaded 500,00 multi colored plastic balls down the famed landmark Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy. The balls were a symbolic representation of the lies told by the Italian government or, as shoe store employee Gilberto Guibbini, made late for work by the stunt observed: "It was a lot of balls".
And while I'm getting all artsy-fartsy, here's a computer generated rendering of the East River Waterfall Project, four man-made waterfalls set to be installed and running this summer from July-October. The most striking and sure to be most photographed installation will be under the fabled Brooklyn Bridge. The mayor's office is guesstimating that the project could generate over $50 million in tourist revenue for the city. Plus it's stupid cool.
