If I was the monolith I too had left the scene. Insta and FB minions, esoteric muddlers, esoteric muddler's dogs (you get the idea). In two weeks time a souvenir shop, a soda vending machine, and public restrooms would have been set up. Nah, time to go.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_monolith

It's strangly similar to the late minimalist sculptor John McCracken's "Fair" shown in a gallery in 2011

Quote:

Early objects created by John McCracken were derived from company logos such as the Chevron corporation logo. His sculptures deal with the interrelationships existing between the material world and design.[2]

In this case: a McCracken wannabe interrelating to the surrounding red rock formations?

A pity it's gone i just wanted a good spot to dance the Dum-Dum in the moonlight!

The state government types removed it from Uyah.

Couldn't have a bunch of tourists tramping all over pristine desert land.

Another Mysterious Monolith Was Found In Romania, Has Already Vanished

Quote:

Now, a second monolith has appeared (and promptly disappeared) in Romania, as mysteriously as the first. Although, judging from video footage, the second monolith appeared a bit rougher than the original Utah monolith, and was covered in spiral engravings.

The first monolith was suspected by some to be an ambiguous art piece by John McCracken, a sculptor fond of science fiction, who allegedly expressed a desire to leave his artwork “in remote places to be discovered later.”

In this case...more a matter of "unleashing the McKrakon !"

EDIT: I just read an article by an outdoor photographer who saw the monolith disassembled & removed and conversed briefly with the removal team who apparently did so to prevent tourist related ecological damage to an otherwise pristine site. Way too many vehicles and curious people were invading the site.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A monolith has been spotted in Southern California that appears to be similar to one discovered in the Utah desert.

Quote:

It’s unclear who placed the monolith on a hiking trail in Atascadero, KEYT-TV reported Wednesday. The tall, silver structure drew some hikers to the area after photos were posted on social media.

At least two other monoliths have been spotted elsewhere. A similar structure that officials said was made of riveted plates of stainless steel was toppled in Utah by a group of people who said “leave no trace,” KSTU-TV reported.
