In a city of angles, squares and rectangles, the Cloud Gate, aka The Bean, located in Chiacago's Millennium Park, is at first a jarring sight. It's an intruder, an alien, a drop of liquid mercury fallen from the sky.
But sometimes it takes a little jarring for people to take notice of the world around them, made dull by repetition and familiarity.
