It's so awesome that someone is doing this and remaining anonymous... And yet at the same time so sad.

Reminds me of a documentary on origami called Between the Folds (http://www.greenfusefilms.com/ -- I believe it's on netflix) where they showed people doing the most ridiculous things by just folding paper. So cool.

It's a great PR move, actually. If the artist now eventually comes forward, he will be instantly famous. Banksy[1] did the same.

Maybe there's something to learn here for startups as well.

Not everybody is in it for the fame and the money.

I hope (s)he does become instantly famous. The work is beautiful and poetic. I'm glad that phoboslab posted this and I'm glad that I coincidentally clicked on the story. There is so much ugliness in this world that I will take beauty anywhere I can get it.

Where is this? Scotland? I'm surprised the bomb-squad hasn't been called in to dispose of these items, the security cameras haven't been checked, and the perpetrator hasn't been tracked down and arrested. . .

I guess librarians have enough common sense to distinguish between art and a bomb

They look so fragile and beautiful - impressive they were able to get them in and setup without drawing any attention.

Amazing they weren't taken or vandalized TBH.

Nice to see a wee bit of Scotland on Hacker News.

Beautiful? I don't think you know what the word means...
