This strange looking contraption was part of a huge street art project in Paris, back in 2010. The project consisted of dozens of these creations donning the tops of traffic signal poles all around Paris. New artworks would regularly cover the tops of these poles, or ‘bornes’, as they are called in French. Each artwork had a code written on it that was linked to a website where you could play games, share photos of a ‘borne’ with a new head and join in. You might say it’s an excellent way to make people pay extra attention to the mundane elements of city life, such as traffic poles.
