This big giant head is not - to my knowledge - the same as the one from Third Rock. It does not - at least to my eye - look anything like William Shatner. Though it is allegedly a fountain, it does not always have water running, which can probably make it look a bit different - a head in... More

A very unusual piece of art, this is located in front of an office building in a business park on the southwest part of town. It's easy to find and there is plenty of parking. I had read different things on the web, but was unaware that the fountain was operational. I believe it is lit up at night, which... More

Metalmorphosis is a definite go. We went here just to see what it was and ended up having a great time taking pictures. I would definitely go there if you want to take some pictures with your family

the head it is very interesting it is in a corporate area but well worth a little of a drive to see something you haven't seen before. All though right now it is in working condition just not spinning so just spews out water from the mouth. Kids would even like to see this. .

It is true that it's temporarily "under construction" now, and it is a bit far from the downtown, but had seen the half of the statue I think it can be really amazing in its original form. So go and visit it, I really regret to missed it out :(

When David Cerny's giant metal rotating fountain head was functioning it was an amazing sight! "Metalmorphosis" or Metal Mo has now disappeared as of October 14, 2012! All that remains is a sad reminder of the great head --- a solid cement pillar in the middle of what was a beautiful rimless fountain pool. If anyone knows if it will... More

Have lived in the area for 1 year & admired this artwork head every time I go to my Dentists; I never knew it was supposed to move! Worth a look instead of just driving by. Easy to get to & plenty of free parking around the business area.

Neat sculpture of a giant head. The sculpture used to rotate and spray water. Now it seems to just sit there. My favorite thing about it is that all my friends think it looks like me! I guess that's a compliment.

It was not working ( maybe because it was raing? ) but still very inpressive. Will look on youtube for video of it in operation.
