They look like every morning you'll find them in a slightly different pose to the evening before.

I was so excited to mention the Ottawa one, I skate nearby often in the summer. Thanks for adding the photo, further than I was going to go!

There was one at Tate Modern, London in 1999.

It is ominious to walk under these.

Nothing like a nice evening's wander along the canal, a detour through Major's Hill Park, followed by a joint while you gawk at Maman's egg sack before walking up the big ass hill behind the National Art Gallery (though idk if that particular path is still open).

Love having a Maman here <3

Reminds me of the striders in Half-Life

So...are they just appearing everywhere? Is this an alien invasion?

Just wait for the stage 2 of the plan!

When people realise what those "sculptures" actually are, it will be too late!

It's really impressive how weirdly organic the many angles look!

Reminds me of the sculpture right at the front of NSW Art Gallery in Sydney.... And I don't have a photo
