Walking through Liverpool city centre last week I came across this most unusual sight. The BBC screen being used in a slightly less than factual manner.
"New commission Hand From Above encourages us to question our normal routine when we often find ourselves rushing from one destination to another. Inspired by Land of the Giants and Goliath, Chris O’Shea reminds us of mythical stories by mischievously unleashing a giant hand from the BBC Big Screen. Passers by will be playfully transformed. What if humans weren’t on top of the food chain?… We will soon find out."
An interesting concept and nicely presented though I have to admit its nice to see something thats less focused on the final presentation and has abit of an edgier almost unfinished appearance. By that I mean it doesn't 'look' as though it was made for such an enormous screen; more like a project thrown together in the back room of an enthusiastic amateur.
It certainly seemed to catch the attention if not the minds and maybe even hearts of the passers-by.
