Well, it's a case of one screw-up after the other. It's looking more and more like the real fault lies with the marketing firm which: 1) Didn't get the permits or permission to pull this stunt; and 2) tried to cover it up after the bomb scares started.
The artists screwed up because they slapped some of those puppies on bridges. I vaguely remember seeing one on an MIT building when I was driving through campus three weeks ago (my memory was jogged when I saw a picture of the Lite Brite on the building), and I thought it was a Christmas decoration that hadn't been taken down yet.
Turner is responsible only insofar that they failed to properly oversee what the marketing firm was doing.
So, yeah, someone needs to pay. Since Turner is ultimately responsible, they'll be the ones paying. You can bet they'll go after the marketing firm to recoup costs.
Luckily, I work a few towns over, so it didn't really affect me. I felt bad for people who were trapped in the city for a few hours, though.
