On his website, O'Shea writes that "passers by will be playfully transformed". What a patronising, invasive, annoying exercise.

This is impudent and sacreligious.
Just TRY to do this in an islamic country!
At least THEY do SOMETHING right.

@luca: perhaps instead of railing against the patronization of an artist, you should turn your efforts at your government who can do far worse things with a video tape of you in a public place, and without your knowledge.

Luca, I'd say everyone's fascinated faces on that video tell a different story.
This is a great idea that seems to get people involved and interacting. Can't wait til it comes to a BBC Big Screen near me!

This is amazing. Nobody should criticise a harmless piece of fun. Lighten up people!

This is impudent and sacreligious.
Two ingredients for making truly creative pieces of work.

Who knows, it may even restore some people's faith...

It's more pervasive than invasive. For one, it's public space, not your living room.

This is a playful concept of manipulation of pixels or 'paint' and the minds of the subjects. A prompt to look around with open eyes!
It is wonderfully interactive, and the results seem to persuade people to dance around and actually enjoy themselves, Oh how terribly out of control!
