Giant Hand Crushes Pedestrians

Do you remember the the head-crushing sketch from The Kids in the Hall? Artist Chris O’Shea created something like it, but on a grand scale, in this augmented reality demonstration. As the people of Liverpool walk along the city streets, they are projected onto a huge LED screen. A giant hand appears on the screen and torments or picks up their images.

    Very cool! But is just might be an elaborate pickpocketing scam.

    Pickpocketing in Liverpool? Nah. That's far too subtle. Belting you over the head and just taking your stuff is pretty subtle for Liverpool.
