Story: At first glance Monument to the Unknown Artist appears to be a simple bronze statue, dressed in a neck scarf and loose fitting suit. However, the six meter animatronic monument seeks inspiration from passers-by, inviting them to strike poses which he copies, continually changing his form in a light-hearted and mischievous way. Throw your arms in the air with joy, put your hands on your head in despair, shake your fist at the world and this super-sized bronze figure will respond to you in a playful manner. The unique sculpture offers an alternative and accessible creative experience for the public allowing them to create a dialogue with the work of art. The Latin phrase ‘Non plaudit modo pecuniam jacite’ means ‘Do not applaud, just throw money’.
