Normally ordinary roads are transformed into art

. Street art is normally used to bring a little culture to an otherwise unremarkable environment

But one artist has made unsightly telephone and electrical boxes blend in by camouflaging them with pictures – of the street
'The images are all unique, based on the context,' said 39-year-old painter Joshua Callaghan

'As far as I know, no one has walked into one of the boxes who wouldn't have walked into an uncovered box.'


Some people out walking get a shock at the art

. Mr Callaghan was given the commission to spruce up the boring grey units in a suburb of Los Angeles
Guaranteed to last for over a decade, the photos printed on to vinyl are graffiti resistant and durable, even in the baking hot LA sun.
'It is interesting to see the surroundings change around the boxes as time passes – but the image on the box stays,' Mr Callaghan added.
. The artist has even let his creative juices flow freely on some boxes
. 'On some of them I started playing with the concept,' he explained
'Transposing one landscape on another, adding elements that don't exist, or moving the angle of alignment to create distorted images

Life as we know it is built on a series of seemingly insignificant elements - things that we often take for granted, if we think about them at all

In a brand new series, called The World Without... Fred Dove examines the consequences of removing just one of those insignificant elements, and discovers some surprising possibilities.
What would this mean for daily life around the world? What might we be using instead today?
The second programme in the series, The World Without...Copper, considers the value to global society of this versatile metal.
You might be forgiven for thinking that copper is just another metal. In fact it is a vitally important substance.
Discovering how to work it had a tremendous impact, transforming the society, culture and even the mentality of early man.
It may even be responsible for the practice of cremating bodies. Without copper, cultures from Mexico to Romania would today be deprived of much of their music, and food lovers would be denied the taste of lobster, prawns and crab.
Fred discovers that a world without copper would be without a crucial recent medical discovery - and even the evolution of life itself would be radically different.
