Another view of the Fourth Plinth

The Guardian's Jonathan Jones points out something that we wouldn't notice: you can't really see the Plinthers very well if you're actually at the plinth. I find the fact that he considers the web-cam portion of the project ancillary and so easily dismissed surprising.

Yeah I can easily see how the webcam is essential.

What if it's a further development of that isolation metaphor? The idea would be that no one can hear what you're saying no matter how hard you try... until the internet breaks that barrier.

It could easily be a celebration of the internet. Well, maybe a bit of a stretch.

I'd totally watch a Schama video on this work, if it happened.
