Semaphores

Around the back of King’s Cross Station I spotted this arrangement in the distance. I didn’t have the time to get closer and explore so took this

shot on full zoom. The kinetic sculptures were constantly moving but I found this arrangement the most pleasing linking the distant device on top of the red building with the one in the foreground. I later discovered that these installations were by an Argentinian born artist called Amalia Pica and that these installations were programmed to communicate with a third using semaphore. I really liked the sense of fun and nostalgia that they conveyed and I was pleased that the clear blue sky fitted in with the flat colour graphics of the signalling devices.
