It's an art piece, I understand passersby can get involved. Hopefully it'll be a good addition rather than an eyesore. I suppose it's like all the public art in Brixton - there's the good, the bad and the ugly.

Interesting post from someone concerned about outreach and engagement. Formal "art and graphics" training required before I am permitted to take part in the discourse.

I just walked past and thought it's basically just mediocre. Whether it's better or worse than, say, the very similar Will Self thing in the market, I'm not sure.
I'm sure I'll have a more valid opinion once I've completed a course in basic art and graphics though.

I'm just trying to stop you making a total arse of yourself here but - hey! - it's a free world, so feel free to keep on posting clueless shite in your desperate quest to score Big Points.

No.
I'm not sure whether I like the Will self piece. It probably got funding cos it had his support.

It just seems gloriously pointless and feels more like an advert for something or another.

Not sure but I'm pretty sure I recall reading that he funded them himself.

I feel public art should look nice (pretty, colourful, curious shapes, whatever). The Will Self box just looks boring. It doesn't add anything to that corner. Would have rather seen more foxes and cherries (however they cost 28k which could have repaired a couple of Brixton murals...
)

Yep. No public money required and at least the artwork is accessible by anyone.
Have to say I feel a tiny bit miffed that I haven't even received an acknowledgement from Brick Box after sending them the poster designs two days ago. I worked hard on those.

He might well have done, although there was a big pot of art funding from which the heron, the foxes and cherries, and at least part of the funding for his thing came from iirc.
I don't much like the Will Self one or the heron. But I *heart* the foxes and cherries. Which is just as well given I have pretty much the best view in Brixton of it

Agree the foxes and cherries are ace. The heron has grown on me and I'm quite fond of it now. The Will Self thing is an interesting idea but only really worthy of temporary installation imo. But then you can't love everything.He might well have done, although there was a big pot of art funding from which the heron, the foxes and cherries, and at least part of the funding for his thing came from iirc.

It's an "idea" that's been totally done to death in countless different instances.

If you look up on the crossroads of Electric Lane and Electric Avenue it's on the roof of the building above Wing Tai.

I'm sure it is not the first of its kind but I have never seen one before.
It would be great to combine it with a screen and voice recognition so that it could evolve on a daily basis.
