Selected works
Their 1996 work Camelot, provoked local controversy after the artists erected steel security fencing around grass areas in Albion Square, Stoke-on-Trent as part of a public commission. In 1998, for 10, they advertised in Derby for contestants to take part in a beauty contest. A computer analysed photographs of the participants and picked out the most symmetrical faces. The enlarged images of the winners were put in order of their 'percentage of beauty'. ==References==
