Is it just me or do you get an irresistible urge to interact with art anywhere and everywhere you find it? Yeah, me too! Isn't it fun? I especially like unusual sculptures, the ones that I can climb on and touch, get to know.... I find interactive art in most places we visit. Even if it's not meant to be "interactive, it is when I'm done with it! At least until I hear the whistle blow.
See the piece.
Feel the piece.
Beeeee the piece.
What else we got.....
This piece? I have no idea what the artist was trying to say. Fat guy, bad posture, no arms. Funky, but fun.
This is Chicago's world famous "Bean." It is totally fun and 100% interactive. Hundreds of people walk around it and under it, having fun playing with their own reflection in this huge, silver, bean shaped sculpture. You instantly feel carefree and childlike! Young people, old people, people of all colors and all cultures just being silly and having fun! Maybe they should put a bean in Afghanistan and Iraq. Hmmm? Now that I think of it, maybe they should put a Bean in every city of every country in the world! 
If anyone ever needed a kiss... this guy did! Seriously can you imagine living for eternity with that look on your face? Poor bastard. I couldn't find anything written about the sculpture that explained why this poor man was so eternally glum... although we were in Germany and it was wicked cold! ...but come on Dude, things could not have been that bad! 
When is the last time you sat in a shoe? Or to be more precise, when is the last time you sat in a wooden shoe? It was fantastic! There you are on a busy street corner in Amsterdam sitting in a wooden shoe while passerby's... pass you by! It was comfy and cozy and made of real wood. There was no explanation or plaque to explain why the wooden shoe was there, but I'm awfully glad it was.
