British artist Darren Cullen recently erected a pop-up shop called “Pocket Money Loans” in London that claims to offer fast, high-interest loans to kids ages three and older. The pseudo store is a satirical art installation that criticizes exploitative payday loan companies that offer extremely short-term loans at unreasonable interest rates, driving many unwitting customers into debt in the UK.
While the artist says that most people understand that the work is a parody, “Pocket Money Loans” has provoked outrage in the local community (Cullen’s Tumblr is rife with hate mail and even legal threats). With its simple, generic-looking logos and familiar color scheme, the piece mimics the ways that UK payday loan companies use kid-friendly branding to mask their more nefarious business practices. Take a look at a few photos from the installation and read Cullen’s manifesto to learn more about the intent behind this work.

It's the most socially driven, and also unsettling, time in human history. Belgian artists Pascal Leboucq and Lucas De Man have created an installation takes this idea to an entirely new perspective. Like something out of The Lord of the Rings, their interactive EYE installation of 5 large foreboding pupils see all.
