Antony Gormley, a very well known, and award winning British sculptor has a new project which he describes in this video:

He calls the project ‘One & Other’ and has permission to video 2400 people on top of the plinth in Trafalgar Square for one hour each. He’ll then stream the live video on the web.
Mr. Gormley said the work would be “about putting the living body in place of a statue and learning how people feel being that alone in such a public place”.
Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth is normally used to display contemporary art, in contrast to the other traditional bronze hero statuary. Visit the One & Other site to find out more. He ’s nothing without participants.
(I wonder how they will share the rights. Also if ‘advertising,’ or commerce, is allowed.)
