Around 250 people gathered in Chicago’s Millennium Park on Sunday with one absurd mission: push the 110-ton Cloud Gate sculpture, (better known as “The Bean”), seven inches to the left!
The flash mob trace back to an anonymous flyer and Partiful invite posted by a user named “gs,” directing participants to show up at 12:47 p.m. to shift the iconic public artwork. According to the tongue-in-cheek premise, shifting the sculpture would expose a hidden latch underneath, allowing the crowd to free an imaginary man trapped inside.
Unsurprisingly, the massive, stainless-steel landmark didn’t budge an inch.
