As art, it has social value, but I acknowledge that one person's art is another person's visual pollution. The piece of "environmental art" that I love to hate is the Tree of Utah. That unsightly piece of junk clutters one of the most interesting horizons that one can see anywhere in the US without leaving your car. If I remember correctly, the artist justified its existence by saying that the uninterrupted desert horizon was too boring. What a callous and stupid argument. By that reasoning, the night sky is also boring and we should clutter it with more lights. Personally, I think the artist is exceptionally boring and should have the Tree of Utah stuck in his (add preferred body cavity hear).

They are not an archeological site, and look like construction debris. I can't understand their attraction for some people. On Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 8:28 AM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
