The French company La Machine has unleashed La Princess, a 37 ton robotic spider, on Liverpool. It's an awesome art installation and you can read all about it in an article in the Mail Online. One bit that gave me pause though was that it was funded with tax money--a lot of it. On one hand I can totally see a public art installation as an improvement in community life, but on the other hand, I wonder if other improvements were being passed over in favor of something easily publicize-able.
The spider was done by the designer of the Sultan's elephant and that amazing squid presented previously by Royal de Luxe.
Giant robot squid by the same designer in Tentacles tentacles on the Bean.
