This is a piece of public sculpture in Clonakilty West Cork, Ireland. Wonder if the artist is a fan :wink:

More Art imitating BoC public artwork:

In Nottingham they've redesigned the Market Square and there's a section where you walk through and motion sensors play sounds at you. It's entirely reminiscent of the boc islands website.

Just found some info: http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/party_ ... forest.htm looks like it's only a temporary installation.

Oh and http://www.apple.com/uk/pro/profiles/janney/ it's not even specific to Nottingham - been toured all over.

This reminded me of Boards of Canada. The collage was made in 1965 by Joseph Cornell.

I happened to stumble accross a book called 'aim ready' by some Artist called Andrea Dojmi in a bookshop recently. Loads of BoC references in there. Surely influenced by them in some way.

Was this font used by Canadian Olympic teams before BoC, or is it more recent? http://www.vancouver2010.com/store/clot ... TF902.html
