The Blob


One of the more humorous exhibits at the Phoenix Art Museum is Blob by artist Tony Oursler.  It is a sort of video display of a face with a few missing features and eyes that are out of sync with each other.  There is a seat in front of it so you can watch it for a while.  It sits there in a corner speaking to whoever might stop by.

    Not sure if that is cute or creepy. It is mesmerising though!

    I think it's rather cute. Looks sorta like my eyes sometimes!

    I hope that at night when I get home from work I don't look like the face on the lower right.

    I don't think Steve McQueen would have felt this one was a threat to the city.

    Well, the one in the lower right looks just like me when I wake up in the morning, before coffee.

    Tracy asks in the first comment if this is creepy. The correct answer is Yes!

    Our favorite line was "I'm not The Blob. I just look like him."
