Was very excited to come see what sounded like a very cool idea for an art piece, but was disappointed to find that its motor and pump were not working. Still kinda cool.
[Joey Gleeson, 05/05/2012]This is one attraction that is a lot more impressive in person than what I expected. It was really neat how the head parts just randomly moved. It wasn't constantly moving, but was neat when it did. It is the middle of a small infinity pool, which I think just adds to the piece. I had a ton of fun just walking around the fountain, playing in the water.

[David Scott, 03/25/2010]Artist David Cerny has long been well-known in art circles in both the Czech Republic and abroad, but it has been a while since he made headlines with a new public sculpture. No longer. Witness "Metalmorphosis," a piece which forms part of a public fountain at an office park in the US city of Charlotte. The piece is a 22-ft. tall structure with horizontally-moving stainless-steel plates which form, and re-form, a giant metal head.
[Dan, 07/03/2009]This giant head is at its most ominous when photographed at night.
