who has that post about the big statue with like a snake pillar body and sunburst head w/black spot on it that turns to look at you

[sleepnoises]

A of all, thank you for knocking that one out in 2 minutes flat. B of all, for context, right before making this post i got this text

[id: received text message of a photo of xu zhen's artwork Hello, the work described in the previous post. replying text message reading in all caps "that bitch is at Stanford?"]

apparently it's not doing the turning-to-look thing at present so i wanted to give proof. also now i need to visit!!!

there's two versions of this statue! her name is "hello", and both this and the moving version are by artist Xu Zhen. the first iteration, made of silicone, steel, resin, and animatronic mechanisms, has been moving from museum to museum - and very much still does turn to look you in the face, sometimes getting very close up to do so!!

this one that youve spotted in the wild is also named Hello but was made as part of the ongoing Standford Plinth project! she's made of cast bronze, will sit here for two years, and then be rotated out for another statue. i think she is so wonderful you are so lucky to see her!!! :D

xu zhen describes his big column snake with a cavity for a head as "cute". i think he is right :)

here's an article about it if you'd like to read more!

Review: Stanford Plinth Project says ‘Hello’ with installation

Xu Zhen’s 15-foot-tall, slithering snake of a Corinthian column has arrived as the inaugural sculpture for the new Stanford Plinth Project.

There should totally be a movement called “Sleep in Public” where people defend their right to sleep on public property. Sleep in your cars. Sleep on benches. Sleep at the park. Just make it a mundane and regular part of life to see someone napping in the library. It would make it much harder to single out the homeless for harassment if everyone else is doing the same thing and much harder to argue that it’s a “threat to public safety” when it’s so clearly harmless.

“But homeless people commit crimes!” I have a very hard time believing they commit crimes while asleep.

You know who do commit crimes in their sleep? Billionaires
