| Tony Cragg's sculpture has an appropriate title: Subcommittee.
But I think it'd be neat if the stamps were rubber, referencing the
common expression rubber stamp and implying that subcommittees don't do
anything useful.
| With all the seemingly nonsensical letters in this sculpture,
Antipodes by Jim Sanborn, it could be a Game clue. Indeed, I
later learned that this is a puzzle, a code, not yet completely solved,
and deeply related to the sculptor's famous series of pieces on the
grounds of the CIA's headquarters complex in Langley, VA.
| Ai Weiwei's sculpture series Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads,
with the dragon front and center in this photo. For what it's worth, Ai
Weiwei doesn't make any head more prominent than any other in his
arrangement.
| I think the rooster is particularly well done.

| Jesus Rafael Soto's 3-d sculpture Three and One warps my brain as
if I'm looking at a monitor with too low a refresh rate.
Excellent illusion.
| A panoramic video of Jesus Rafael Soto's Three and One, in hope
that it better shows the visual effect. I'm not sure if it does.

He has another visual illusion, Eight Silver, that definitely
would not photograph well. It only works with binocular depth
perception.

The three room of Carlos Cruz-Diez's Chromosaturation's immersive
environment served as a visual color wheel. Each room was lit with
different colored fluorescent lights. Looking at how the light changes
by the distance to the source and how the colors mix near the doorways
showed the full gradient of color and lack of boundaries. Color is a
continuous space, a continuous experience.

| Jesus Rafael Soto's Blue Penetrable BBL. Walking through it is a
neat visual effect, especially when you stop in the middle and look back
at the cords swaying and dancing behind you.
