Odd camphone plaque in Toronto

This curious plaque was apparently photographed on the streets of Toronto. Link

UPDATE: This and other similar plaques were part of an art installation by 640 480 Video Collective. Link

This is part of a series of mundane moments memorialized with official-looking plaques.

Torontoist picked it up a while back:

Sounds like the kind of thing the guy on Cockeyed.com would do.

(Very sad, when I can't think of anything to add that doesn't leave me sounding like a spambot.)

Are those keyword tags at the bottom? If so, that's what makes it genius and not just amusing.

As noted above - this was part of a project called Grand Gestures by the 640 480 Video Collective.

In my opinion, anything that makes me laugh is art.
