Margate: Anti-Brexit installation appears across Arlington House flat
14:27, 12 February 2018
A Margate-based design agency has launched a controversial anti-Brexit art installation.
Commissioned by Rob Yates, who lives in Margate's Arlington House, the installation hopes to add pressure for a second referendum and make people realise that 'the June 2016 referendum has resulted in a divided Britain and its implementation will have profound implications'.
The art piece simply says BLOCKBREX.IT across an entire flat's windows.
It leads people to a website where they can play a retro-style game in which visitors fire European ball-shape flags at block-head politicians who lead Brexit campaigns.
When the player has hit all the blocks, a message appears followed by another politician's face.
BRYL, the design agency responsible, said: "We took direct inspiration from the tower block to create something captivating and interactive.
"Something that would demand the attention to the subject matter in more of a fun and playful way than the typical political sloganeering."
Rob Yates, who considers himself an 'ultra remainer' added: "We may have voted for a Brexit journey, but we never voted on the destination.
"I want this art installation to make people think and realise that the conversation isn't over."
Anyone interested in the project or discussion can join in the conversation on social media with the hashtag BLOCKBREXIT
