Street artist Urban Solid is actually two artists based in Italy. Urban Solid creates sculptures that are pasted up onto walls. A few of these have been recently installed around Shoreditch and Spitalfields. The series features faces or brains inside of television screens or giant ears with the words "Audio Surveillance Zone" underneath them. I've included a few photographs of their recent work below.
These television screens with faces are located off of White Church Lane.

Various 'Audio Surveillance Zone' sculptures are pasted up.
I've also dug through some of my older street art photographs after noticing a resemblance to an unidentified piece of work that I captured last summer (2012). This featured a plaster mask around the remains of what looks like an old television screen. Although I've seen this work attributed to another artist, I am certain that it is Urban Solid because the cast of the face looks exactly like one of the ones in the first image (above), though without the remote control of the television in its mouth.
