Blurry and brown sculptures are popping up all over Jakarta as part of the UPS 'A Very Speedy Delivery' campaign. This campaign was devised by O&M Jakarta, and shows the lightning fast speed of UPS deliveries.
These blurry sculptures do a great job of personifying speed in the shipping business. There's just one problem: A New York sculptor by the name of Ryan Johnson has created works of art that look identical to these. O&M Jakarta claims that any likeness to the 'A Very Speedy Delivery' campaign is clearly coincidental. Check out the gallery and judge for yourself.
