Oushi zokei, aka the donut of Northbourne Ave

So this is Canberra's latest piece of public art - Keizo Ushio's "oushi zokei, dream lens for the future"

At first glance I'm like "Hey! They copied the one in Japan!"

Dream lens, Kobe
Except as it turns out, it's by the same artist!  

I think I like the one in Japan better - it has three twists instead of the one we have here.

And a few more of both, just for fun

Even got myself on the RiotACT.  Again.  :)  
Typical of Canberrans though, everyone having a whinge about it.  Which is sad because this piece of art is *cool*!
