Thom Yorke organised a giant live sculpture with the help of 2000 volunteers this weekend, all in aid of 350 Earth. The giant installation depicted King Canute commanding the ocean, which was used as the front cover of Thom Yorkes solo debut album, “The Eraser”.

The event was captured by aerial photographers, and can be seen in the image above.

All over the world, from the November 20th – 28th, 350 Earth is launching it’s first ever global climate art project. Each art installation will be viewable from space, and Brighton has been chosen as one of the locations for one of these impressive art installations.

Leading the Brighton installation will be no other than Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, who has been chosen especially by the UK 350, which will involve 2000 volunteers making up the image of King Canute commanding the ocean (as seen in Thom Yorke’s debut solo album).

The live sculpture will begin formation on Brighton Beach at 11am Saturday, November 27th 2010. The lucky 2000 volunteers must be able to stay until 1pm at Brighton Beach in order to participate.

To have a chance at taking part in this event, please visit the 350 Earth website to sign up, and for more information.
