15 million dollars to watch water fall from the bridge.
Could have done that digitally.

the brooklyn bridge waterfall is my favourite.
i'm not so keen on the "freestanding" ones - think they look better if they are coming out of the side of a manmade structure like the bridge

COOL. It'll churn up all the body parts in the East River.

So was anyone else completely underwhelmed by seeing the waterfalls today? I really enjoy Eliasson's work, and the 2 exhibits up right now are great (especially ps1), but these waterfalls spaced so far apart and complete with scaffolding are not capturing the effect I think was intended. I didn't live in nyc at the time the Gates were up in CentralPark, but I imagine them having a greater impact as Public Art.

17million well spent.

How about going to see a real waterfall - much more special.- estimated to bring in $55m to local area.Jnr_Madison
