I for one welcome our new mirrorball overlords
- 19 Feb 2010
- The Wellingtonista
- Te Papa's forecourt may look as if it's under attack by giant glittery space balls, but it's actually the start of a two-year kinetic sculpture installation called "The Mimetic Brotherhood", by Peter Trevelyan. There's not much kinesis evident at the moment, but once the installation is complete, expect the plinth-eating monsters to start pulsating in their full hydraulic glory.

Splish Splash: Bucket Fountain Update
- 27 Nov 2008
- The Wellingtonista
- There's been a bit of action going on at the old Bucket Fountain, icon of Cuba Street. First, it mysteriously disappeared: We initially thought this was a retro '80s David Copperfield-style magic trick, but it turns out it was just taken down for maintenance. The fountain returned, with a fresh coat of paint, ready to splash the good folk of Cuba Mall once again.

- ‘As always, thanks for the informative reply, Richard. It's funny to think that the Bucket Fountain has to be carefully set up so that while it clunkily splashes water all over the pavement, it doesn't splash too much water. This is why it is so beloved!’
- ‘The Council's Bucket Fountain guru, Ruth Graham, says she sat and watched the fountain for some time last week as she thought there was more water going over the edge by Farmers than before. She only noticed one bucket out of line and this explained the ’
