Installing art in Yorkshire: stone-based locative art

Call it locative chaotic art: a series of sculptures appears in Yorkshire.  The stone heads have faces, and also symbols, with perhaps some letters.  It's the work of this sculptor, and feels like an ARG-ish mix of marketing stunt plus distributed art.

What makes it more fun is this coda to that BBC story:

George Griffiths, an artist from Arthington who was among those to receive the heads, said he had tried to contact Johnson through the website.

But he received an email in return to say the artist was out of the country for a few weeks, does not have a phone, does not use the Internet and does not have access to television.

Hmmmm!
