A team in Weston-super-mare has decided to turn an old oil rig from the North Sea into a public artwork. It was called The See Monster and was moved by a large barge as big as a football pitch.

The people working on this want to get people thinking about sustainability. The construction is going to be 35m tall. The new substance, one of the groups behind the installation, said the “world-first project” is an “ambitious feat of design.” The team noted that there would be four floors, a waterfall, a 600-piece installation of monster shimmering scales, an onboard green oasis, and a seated amphitheater with a broadcast studio. Mark Canniford from North Somerset Council said: “The idea of bringing this back and showing people how this can be of benefit and the lessons that could be learned is fantastic.” The artwork was a 450-tonne object brought from the Netherlands on Bay in the morning. New substance founder, Patrick O’Mahony, said: “These giants are all over the world, and no one has ever tried to do this before… It’s like rehabilitation. It’s spent its life taking from the earth, and now it’s time for it to give back.”
