No, that's not the Patriot Act at work . . . at least I hope not. It's a temporary public art piece by local Chicago artist Tony Tasset and it's located a block north of the Harold Washington Library. Mind blowing? Not exactly. Inspirational? Maybe for an ophthalmologist. Worth seeing? Absolutely. Besides, when was the last time you stood before a 3 story eyeball in downtown Chicago? Ok, after eating those brownies at Lollapalooza doesn't really count. Hurry because it's only here through October.

Nice one -- must have taken this one very late at night or very early in the morning. I've not seen it without a bunch of people milling around it and taking photos of it. I have to admit that the bloodshot parts are creepy looking but I do like it. And no one has graffiti-ed it, which is nice.
