It wasn't really a conceptual art project. It was an attempt by the Army Corps of Engineers to control flooding and ice build up. Twice before the project was completed the river flooded taking half finished forms, compressors and giant sump pumps down river; all which had to be replaced at $100s of thousands of dollars. When winter ice built up, the ice floes broke up and careened downriver as well. the flooding broken up by a wrecker ball but as high as any flood in 25 years.
