Originally I think I read about her in Norwich FB group post…but it looks like she’s updated her personal webpage since I last looked to include posts and photos relating to the keyboard - scroll to bottom:

@JugglingWithEggs @Natasha_Jay FWIW, there's a video interview with Molly Sole on the subject of the Mystery Pavement Keyboard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxkCUi7HZfg

@Natasha_Jay Most things like this were Done By somebody. It's like crop circles.

@Natasha_Jay @jbaert basically all i can think of is how that pavement has been in that horrible state all these years or is it Dutch to expect better maintenance?

@Natasha_Jay did someone ping @foone for this concrete keyboard, yet?

[connynasch@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay great stuff, she "left a lasting impression"

[mdione@en.osm.town]

@Natasha_Jay yeah, my money was on the plastic covers that used to come with keyboards. Art rules!

@afewbugs @nlupo @Natasha_Jay I did someting similar during art school, but not on purpose. I did not want to spraypaint that carboard man in my room so I went to a silent corner of the parking lot. The life-size outlines of the man remained there for years, and many people wondered which gruesome crime had happened there.

@Natasha_Jay My guess would have been some packaging foam material got imprinted from an actual keyboard, and had falled on the fresh cement with something heavy on it, which had pushed it down to make the imprint. Was not expecting an intentional imprinting of a keyboard mold done by an art student
