Greyworld have unveiled their project, Monument to the Unknown Artist. Andrew Shoben showed me the maquette of it in Geryworld’s studio early last year and I was really wondering how and if they were actually going to make it.
You really need to take a look at the video on their site to see it in action, but basically it looks like a statue but is, in fact, a robot that can mimic your stance. It’s installed by the Tate Modern, so if you’re in town go and strike a pose.
UPDATE: There is an accompanying microsite for the project with many more images and info.
So of course Greyworld’s Andrew Shoben couldn’t let me name-check Antirom on YouTube without sending me one of his own. This one of him wearing a top hat and tails and a tail. A lot of effort for a pun.
The most astonishing thing is that nobody takes any notice, especially in the supermarket. Not only is it pretty unusual to see someone in full opera gear, but the guy has a tail. Watch all the Londoners wrapped up in their own busy worlds completely refuse to blink at the unusual.
