London Booster is an art installation by Czech artist David Černý[1] that consists of a bus fitted with hydraulic arms, allowing it to do push-ups, accompanied by audiovisual effects. It was created to celebrate the 2012 Summer Olympics and inspire the Czech Olympic team. It was installed outside the Business Design Centre in Islington, which for the duration of the games was transformed into "Czech House".[2]
After the Olympics, the bus was installed in the Prague neighborhood of Chodov, in front of the Agrofert building, a company owned by former Czech prime minister Andrej Babiš that sponsored the work.[3]
