With a combination of examples of public art as well as the photographs of War hammer cities all I could really think about was how cities themselves are giant art pieces. To me the only differences between the city and its public art is the form versus function argument. While a building you use may be slightly limited by its need for a balance between form and function, public art is an installation with the sole purpose of creating form. However, this idea that a building is required to satisfy both form and function makes those buildings with seemingly impossible forms all the more beautiful. This attraction to things we can see ourselves both enjoying aesthetically, as well as gaining a function from may also explain the large popularity of games like Minecraft, Warcraft, and War Hammer. It is a fascinating concept that we, as the player, have the ultimate power of creating aesthetically pleasing buildings that have a significant function, both of which seem impossible to balance, and yet it is achieved by us with a few minor clicks.

The "Believe" sculpture in our very own Reno.
This is what I like the call "The Blue Demon Horse". It is a large statue at the entrance of the Denver International Airport. An airport riddled with conspiracy theories.
This is the Peeing Dog Statue just outside of the Museum of Art in Orange County.
