Pointless

Wellington’s bid for the world’s most bizarre sculpture has been struck down from the sky. The sculpture was to feature onboard lasers but Civil Aviation thought they could well distract pilots coming in for an already difficult landing. Consideration was given to developing a mechanism that would permit pilots to turn the sculpture lasers off as they flew over but, incredibly, the idea was ruled out. Landscaper, Megan Wraight, commented, "Without [the lasers], the hook becomes just an object – it loses a poetic and a transcendent element."
