The eyes have been placed on various installations, including a sculpture of two deer and a sphere. While some residents have expressed delight at the addition, others have called for the city to focus on more pressing issues, such as homelessness. The city has spent $1,500 removing the eyes from seven of the eight affected sculptures and is treating some of the art pieces to prevent damage." ] ], "content": "nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7ctjw35kxmr9wvhxcctev4erxtnwv4mhxqpq2qj8ax6yyu2udvjcpulpdnet77avt0ypz0tecyygevehtlxzkcrqtkfw9w\nhttps://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/33ebfc6ba97eae1731348ec28f4580e128f50575/0_19_1539_923/master/1539.jpg?width=140\u0026quality=85\u0026auto=format\u0026fit=max\u0026s=042b88577319a37390fe2dcd47d57de1\nIn Bend, residents have been getting a chuckle out of seeing googly eyes stuck on installations in roundaboutsGoogly eyes have been appearing on sculptures around the central Oregon city of Bend, delighting many residents and sparking a viral sensation covered widely by news outlets and featured on a popular late-night talk show.On social media, the city shared photos of googly eyes on installations in the middle of roundabouts that make up its so-called “Roundabout Art Route.” One photo shows googly eyes placed on a sculpture of two deer, while another shows them attached to a sphere.
