While I was in Chicago this past spring I noticed a few things that had changed since the last time I was there. The most impressive new feature I saw was the sculpture Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor. Located in the middle of Millennium Park, the huge mirrored form reflects the city all around it like a huge fish-eye lens. It has an infinite quality to it and appears to have a completely different shape depending on from which angle it is viewed. Not only does it capture a distorted image of the city, but it also captures the images of the people looking at it.
