It is a monstrosity that has defaced our desert. It is NOT creativity it is hideous colored spray paint that is a boil on our desert.

The desert is already beautiful. Painted rocks cheapen the experience I think. Would the standing stones of Stone Henge be better or more appealing if they were painted day-glow orange and yellow?

I am a Nevada resident who travels back and forth to California quite often. I cringe every time I pass this. I have no problem with art, I do have a problem when it is glaringly out-of-place plopped down somewhere it doesn't belong. The desert itself is perfect beauty , every night the desert sky becomes the canvas and the sunset becomes the brush, that's all the art that we need in the desert. This thing doesn't belong there..

This thing is so ugly and out of place. Cars stop suddenly and pull over. Someone is going to get killed!

As a biologist and nature lover, I find these colored giant cairns to be complete trash in the beautiful desert.

Tacky, tacky, tacky!
Please stop marring our view of the pristine desert, and it's magnificent natural beauty.
It's bad enough that we have to tolerate that grotesque Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System just down the I-15... which has now been exposed as a giant scam that has wasted millions of dollars in taxpayer money, and doesn't perform even 10% as well as it was promised. Not to mention it's hazard as a danger to aerial navigation. That facility should be torn down, too.
Our beautiful Mojave Desert is not a dumping ground for everyone's stupid idea... or so-called "art installation," as the case may be.
Tear down this Seven Magic Mountains fiasco... and wash the child daycare center colors off those rocks.
This is disgusting in it's utter meaninglessness.The so-called "artist" is Swiss. A message to him; go create your giant public blight upon the land, in Switzerland... and leave our natural American open space alone.
The Aria Resort can surely find much more useful and creative ways to waste their money, than on this desert monstrosity. Effective immediately, we will discontinue all our patronage of the Aria in every respect, pending removal of this eyesore.
While driving past it yesterday on the I-15, we witnessed a multi-car accident almost take place, when one vehicle slowed down to a crawl in order to figure out why that pile of rocks was there. It would have been horrendous wreckage, exacerbated by the rain-slicked pavement.
When an accident eventually does occur (and it will) we sincerely hope that the victims will sue the so-called artist, as well as the Aria and the BLM, for creating that giant driving distraction.
Art is a tool, used to create beauty where there is none... such as on a blank canvas or in an empty room. Our surrounding desert is already overloaded with natural beauty and a surfeit of wonders. We do not need it to be embellished by a so-called artist from halfway around the world--who has probably never

This is dumb. Don't ruin my friends wedding with this ugly display of cheap inflation.
