Some people thought the avatar reminded them of:

A heart.
A plug.
A battery.
A space hopper.
A Viking helmet.
A packet of cigarettes.
A castle.
A ship.
A mask.
A guinea pig.
An ice lolly.

What did it remind you of?

Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.

Since 2004 we have commissioned artists to create substantial temporary artworks, trained ourselves and others in the process of commissioning public artworks through international site visits and guest lectures and successfully raised funding to these ends.

We are currently funded by the Scottish Arts Council and The City of Edinburgh Council
