The inspiration from M\u00e4etamm\u2019s project stems from his perception of the city undergoing a re-organisation and bringing new attractions and activities for its inhabitants. He also was also drawn to the lively nightlife of the city, and the vibrant and chaotic nature of a night out in Swansea\u2019s drinking quarter.<br \/>\n<\/br><br \/>\nThis artwork combines the colourful, chaotic character of Swansea with its reinvention as a city of leisure. The LC provides a fitting backdrop to his playground of nightmares. Caged behind a steel fence, the playground appears sinister and apocalyptic.<br \/>\n<\/br><br \/>\n<strong>Active Arnie<\/strong><br \/>\nNational Waterfront Museum Green, Oystermouth Road<br \/>\n<\/br><br \/>\nArnie the Active Swansea Aardvark (aka Active Arnie) is the mascot of Active Swansea. Arnie loves sport and games. He can sometimes be seen at a local Active Swansea centre having great fun learning to play football and rugby. Arnie would really like to be able to play for the Swans or Ospreys.<br \/>\n<\/br><br \/>\nNot one to miss out on any fun, Arnie also enjoys playing badminton, tennis and netball. He likes to walk and cycle to most places. Arnie likes fresh fruit and vegetables.
