Keyboard monument, Public art sculpture near Isset River, Yekaterinburg, Russia
The concrete sculpture replicates a computer keyboard at large scale, measuring 16 meters in length and 4 meters in width along a small hill.
The outdoor sculpture, created by artist Anatoly Viatkine, marked the technological progress of the city when it was installed on October 5, 2005.
The monument follows the YUCKEN layout of Russian Cyrillic keyboards, reflecting local computing practices through 104 concrete blocks weighing up to 500 kilograms each.
The keyboard sculpture stands as part of the red line guided route that connects main attractions in central Yekaterinburg for visitors to explore.
Several keys of the monument, including Y, F1, F2, and F3, were taken by unknown persons in 2011, leading to a complete restoration that same year.
