If You'd Designed the Crown Fountain

2004_08_art_fark_crownfountain.jpg
One of Chicagoist's favorite procrastination destinations, Fark.com, has a contest running to Photoshop The Crown Fountain.

Designed by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, The Crown Fountain features two 50-foot high glass block towers at each end of a shallow reflecting pool. The towers are activated with changing video images and lights, and water cascades from the top of each.

Chicagoist had wondered with friends the feasibility of hacking into the computers controlling the videos, but maybe entering a Photoshop contest would be a less jail-provoking way to have some fun.

Which entry is your favorite? Anyone have other funny ideas for the Crown Fountain?
