Yes, all knocked up in someone's garage over the weekend in order to get some quick Instagram viral fame. Crop circles > monoliths.

That's a beautiful bright thing. Looks like it's almost translucent / prismy.

What a load of rubbish, a bit like your new sig.

I thought they both looked rather good

 

[Puzzled]

Is this how things like stonehenge and stone circles started? Some guys did a one for a laugh and then others started copying until it actually had some meaning to it so they went bigger and bigger.

This time next year the prisms will be 10x as big with multiple placed in circle, all surrounded by devoted followers

No because Stonehenge and stone Circles all have a recurring theme of lining up astronomically so used for something at the time they were built eg that shows when th esun rises, that shows when the sunsets and so on ......

Its a wooden frame with mirror acrylic

Probably acrylic or glass mirror

Edit:

Oh, it says in the article

"We moved some of the sand from around the bottom and it's partly buried but we felt underneath and it was made of wood with mirrors stuck to the side.

oh that's lame.
someone should get an all metal block, give it a cpu like mirror finish.

bet the metal would cost a lot though

They bear a resemblance to the one that features in Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Er, no. They really don't.

 

[arknor]

Er, no. They really don't.

they do in the sense that so does every other object roughly the same shape such as the monoliths on hinges throughout your house

 

[Narj]

Er, no. They really don't.

Someone needs to get a block of something solid and heavy and paint it with that stuff that's supposedly the most light absorbent material in existence. Then dump it in a remote location. Now that would be cool (and probably expensive)

Vanta black? Yeah, that would be cool.

Save a bit of money and just dump one of these in the middle of nowhere
