They're quite repetitive, and he seems to have found a niche for them in science campuses around the world. I suppose that in the judgment of some university administrators the Spheres must look artsy, yet scientific and concrete enough not to feel out of place in a Place of Science... Far from me to bemoan any art in public places, but sometimes I wish it could be chosen more eclectically. Pomodoro has done other interesting things, but I could never appreciate his Spheres.

I especially love the second one, although I wish the cogs of industry bursting out of the crumbling sphere of nature weren't such an accurate description of real life... Oooooooh!

If you push the sculpture it rotates; can you do the same with the Dublin sculptures?

Interesting facts to be uncovered.

The excuse that you have an old friend at Stanford is not sufficient, it seems. If you’re a Pomodoro fan, what better excuse to come up to Stanford?
