And you thought that murderous horse was creepy.

If you have an intense fear of objects with lots of little holes, you’re probably not going to be crazy about the new art at Denver International Airport.

Travelers through Denver International Airport who have become jaded to the scarlet gaze of Blue Mustang can now experience a different kind of horror.

Acúmulo, a new exhibit from Brazilian artist Rosane Volchan O’Conor, uses industrial materials to explore the world of paramecium, spores and neurons.

The experiential exhibit, created for the airport, is on display now through the end of July on the west side of level 5 of the Jeppesen Terminal, near the north security screening area.

Not for the trypophobic.

(That’s people who have an intense fear of objects with lots of little holes. If that’s you, look away now.)

But just as the mustang has its fans and admirers, there are those who will share O’Conor’s fascination with this unseen world. It’s beautiful in its way.

After speeches at Civic Center Park, the protesters against police brutality moved to Lincoln Street in front of the state Capitol on Wednesday, June 3, 2020. At about 10 p.m. — an hour past curfew — they held phones aloft and stayed silent for nine minutes in honor of George Floyd, the African American man who was killed by Minneapolis police. Denver police blocked off the roads around the Capitol to give the demonstrators room but otherwise held their distance at least until 11 p.m.
