Cloud Gate



The sculptor of Cloud Gate is Anish Kapoor. And the ever-trenchant detector of subtle irony is Andy D.

Oh, it on!

I will miss even the flow of Cloudgate if I never ever see it ever, ever, EVER again.

But at least I will never see it again.

Lucky you, it turns out you'll miss very little. More Cloud Gate coming your way, my friend.

Oh God...

Well on a more serious note, I do like this photo. (And having said that, Cloudgate might be one thing in the world that is not possible to take a poor photo of?) I like the irony in this one -- for of all the Cloudgate photos on this blog, and yes, there are many, this is the one I've seen and noticed where the most obvious cloud ever photographed is somehow NOT visible in the namesake Cloudgate.

And let me utter a phrase that I suspect has been uttered many times in humanity, but at least not on this blog, and not this directly anyway:

"Curse you, Anish Kapoor!!!!!"

Yo, Detetective Irony...observe some more observations for us.

Andy D. said...

Oh I be observin.

Listen here. Don't you be disrespectin' my irony. Don't you blaspheme.

You want ironical? I'll give you ironical.

Ironical is, you tellin ME about who's pointin out ironicalities, an calling ME "detective," when you Professor Ironical posts us the d&#n name of the artist of the accursed object, as the deep post to go along with this otherwise beautiful and mysterious photo. His d&#n NAME, which I can selfsufficientatiously google myself. That's not detectivaciousness. That's obvious and, ironicalaciously enough, therefore not detectivity.

That's the opposite of detectivity. That's indectivity.

That's the ironicalitally what I detect.
