Arts Talking Fountain
posted by on June 8 at 16:01 PM
Anyone who’s found themselves thirsty in Sea-Tac airport has probably fallen victim to the Talking Fountain. Even when I know to expect the startlingly loud noise of an amplified babbling brook, I feel instantly nervous, hurried, and vulnerable. I guess it’s sort of amusing to watch unsuspecting travelers jump during their turn at the fountain, but I don’t think it’s the calming work it was intended to be. The piece was designed by Jim Green in 1992.
I have drank out of that fountain on many occasions.
blech....I may have gotton cooties from the millions of other humans who have found refreshment at that fountain...
I've heard the babbling fountain while waiting for my trips to Vegas. I understood the intent but found it misguided and silly.
Fool. You don't get cooties from fountains. You get cooties from kissin' girls (or boys).
