Not too sure what to think of this. Toronto-based furniture shop Simone Interiors now sells art created by the company owner, Lin Gibson. To promote this happy news, Gibson created a bunch of LP album-sized posters with multicolored bars and stuck them in local store windows — with no accompanying explanation.

Roger Cullman over at BlogTO has more pictures. He also wonders whether passers-by noticed the installations. Commenters say they did, but nobody knew for sure what the promotion was all about.

“We thought it was one of those new gangs declaring their territory. Obviously, it turns out it was only those hipsters doing their hipster things,” ruminated a reader called SCREWFACE.
