French artists Ella & Pitr began making a name for themselves in the mid-2000s in Paris. They are best known for their Sleeping Giant series, gigantic rooftop murals of people sleeping around the world.
This aerial piece located on the roof of Science North is an homage to the “God helmet” and to the groundbreaking experimental research in neuroscience done by the late Dr. Michael Persinger at Laurentian University in Sudbury.
