Oh wow that is amazing!

I'm gutted I wont be able to see it in action though, there better be some bloody good footage of it.

Flagged, more people should take a look at this picture. Really cool!

How much trouble was it to drag that thing up the side of the building?

I could just imagine cresting a hill and seeing that thing walking across the road a few hundred meters in front of me. Hopefully whoever is in charge of it has good liability insurance for all the car accidents and heart conditions its going to cause.

Anyone going to get to see it? I'd like to see the videos when they're out.

how the hell has the la machine project been so heineously misreprented ? deny ignorance

Hmmm....

Let's deny ignorance here and tell the real story, shall we?

Thousands of people braved the rain to watch a 50ft (15m) high mechanical spider come to life in Liverpool.

About 5,000 people watched La Princesse come out of "hibernation" outside the city's arena at King's Dock on Friday.

An estimated 20,000 more were in the city on Friday evening to see her crawl down The Strand before heading for a resting place at the Cunard building.

The £1.5m street theatre production, operated by French company La Machine, is a Capital of Culture event.

La Princesse was unveiled to the public on Wednesday morning, hanging from a redundant office block next to Lime Street railway station.

She was woken in a hail of fireworks and smoke at 1130 BST on Friday, before striding up and down in front of the arena in front of the cheering crowd.
