Why go
This is the playful counterpoint to Millennium Park's more sculptural landmarks. The faces, reflections and movement make the work change minute by minute, while the open plaza offers an instructive view of how Chicago uses art socially. Children and adults become part of its changing composition.
What to look for
- Watch how individual Chicago faces are enlarged into slow, expressive video portraits.
- Step back to see the two towers frame people, skyline and reflections as one composition.
Useful to know
- Expect splashing when the water operates and keep electronics clear of the wet zone.
- Visit after Cloud Gate or the Art Institute; all three are close enough for an unhurried comparison.
