The founder of the art collective, Matty Mo, spoke about the art installations in an interview with Mashable, but stopped short of giving an outright answer.
'I am not able to say much because of legalities of the original installation', Mo told Mashable via DM.
'I can say we are well known for stunts of this nature and at this time we are offering authentic art objects through monoliths-as-a-service. I cannot issue additional images at this time but I can promise more on this in the coming days and weeks'.
