Most of them looked like shiny white worms, thick as a leg and four or five feet long. They weren't huge but still weighed about fifty or so lbs. From more than ten or so feet away, they really did look like some kind of weird worm creature drinking from the water. She never would go back to see if they decayed, fell in the water, got taken, or anything else. To her that was against the spirit of her art. Once she "released it into the wild", that was the end of her involvement with the sculpture.

There's a post going around message boards that appears to have originate on Hacker News, so it might be Silicon Valley wanking. According to the post, the monument was erected on that spot as a memorial to a guy who died there. The guy's sister is asking that everyone leave it alone and stop telling the world where it is located. It was meant to be a private monument for his family and friends to visit.
Because it is on public land, it will be removed so she's SOL on it remaining a private memorial.

Why can’t aliens use rivets. Serious question. Why are you guys assuming you know what alien construction looks like. They presumably have to follow the same laws of psysics, gravity, use same or similar materials etc. I’m not saying this was made by aliens mind you.
