EVOKE! 3 - "Interactive Gordon Brown" Installation on South Bank London by Contra

What happens when you place a wipeable life-size Prime Minister with a provocative empty speech bubble on the south bank opposite The Houses of parliament? This interactive installation marking the upcoming election for a short amount of time put freedom of speech back in the hands of the public, and provided tourists with an up close and personal interaction with the man himself.

(Unfortunately due to the location, the duration of Mr Brown was short lived to 32 Minutes, as he was later removed by security)

Great idea but it's a shame you can't read half the things that are written in the bubble?
