I'm on the fence regarding standalone art vs functioning lamp post. As art they are wayyyy better than the sterile Haring and Koons sculpture in and outside of the Death Star. They may not be adaptable to the light design of the this "plaza" now and having them as art pieces might safe guard them from future lighting trends and technologies.

As a 47 year old native New Yorker. But I've often wondered, as a person with inner ear equilibrium issues, if anyone there are any reports of anyone hurting themselves while trying to grab onto one of these while looking for a stable support. Icy conditions, elderly people, or drunken Bros. Tile shards can be very sharp.
