Antony Gormley's memorial to Alan Turing has been unveiled in #Cambridge.... In the end whether you like or not will depend on whether you think a memorial should be directly representational (i.e. look like Turing) or whether an artist should respond in their own way to the subject.
In fairness no #publicart is going to please everyone, but at least its good to see public art actually being done.... even if its effectively on private land (in the grounds of Kings College).
