It may be art, but as they've been installed in urban areas I'd have attached a CCTV camera or floodlight to each pole so they had a purpose.

I like the weathervane but the tall poles mar the view of the House Mill, I hope they are only temporary.

I have real birds atop my scaffolding poles.

I think I have a photo of them in Regents park taken in 2018. But they look like security cameras.

I like them

I wonder why a "sixth plinth" (empty) wasn't provided, where the local avian population could provide its own participatory input if they chose.

Ah, a bit underwhelming whatever they are I thought as I cycled past last weekend. My opinion hasn't changed now I know they're by A Famous Artist. That would be the Tracey Emin whose planning permission for her Spitalfields home/studio was (I'm glad to say) rejected a few years back. She threatened to move to Kent as a result.

“I’m an international artist who hasn’t got enough room to swing a cat at the moment,” she said, sitting on a couch in her studio, a high-ceilinged room lined with paintings in progress and dominated by a giant plaster maquette of a woman’s torso. The basement houses a softly lit swimming pool, and upstairs are two floors of offices, one of which is currently being renovated, where eight staff work.

The cormorant is brilliant. First prize for that.
No award for the silly pole birds.

Not art by a talentless nobody. Hope she doesn’t give up her day job!

Emperor's New Clothes stuff.

If the art annoys you more than the Skypool, your priorities are wrong.

Karl you are right.
These are first world ‘problems’.
They do give blogtertainment though.

How are people foolish enough to pay or go out of their way for that "art". Comorant is much more unique and shows observation, and looks significantly more artistic than a bit of metal on a metal rod.
