The idea for this Call of Duty ad is fairly simple – The Replacer takes over the boring parts of your life, so you have time to play Call of Duty – but it’s the casting that makes it awesome.

Jonty Hurwitz is a man of contradictions; as well as being an artist, he’s also a red-in-tooth capitalist who co-founded Wonga, the high-tech, micro-loan company that charges an eye-watering 4,214% APR interest.
Money aside, it’s his sculpture I’m interested in. Jonty specialises in anamorphosis – an artistic style that features distorted projection or perspective that requires the viewer to use special devices or to occupy a specific vantage point to reconstitute the image.

Anyway, financial parasite or not, the man knows how to make an impressive piece of art:
