Calgary is removing a $20,000 public art installation from a downtown underpass after British comedians complained that it used photos of them without their permission. Ali took to Twitter to highlight the situation and posted the original picture that adorns the underpass. A comparison of the two seems clear, although the Calgary installation, called Snapshots, has the photo flipped so that it's a mirror image, and then blurred. The man behind the installation, Calgary artist and former Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD) instructor Derek Besant, did not reply to a request for comment from CBC News on Monday night. Another comedian, Sofie Hagen, also took to Twitter and posted the photo which she says was used as part of the Calgary art installation.
