Funny Video of the Day: A Sneaky 'For Rent' Sign That'll Follow You Around
Watch how an art installation turned into an idea for rejuvenating city streets.
In 2010, Niklas Roy, "an engineer whose works always end up in art exhibitions," created an art installation in which a small curtain in a shop window follows people around in order to block their view to the inside.
But when he was invited to show that work at a media show in Sherbrooke, Canada, this month, he tweaked it a little bit. His new effort addressed a problem he observed in the exhibition city: streets plagued by empty shopfronts.
