1. Does the green highlighted sentence refer to "Holzer, Nauman and Emin" or "Carson"?
2. Does the yellow sentence mean "different from electronic signage versions of Holzer’s Truisms"?
Context:

This creates an ambience of a completely different order to that of the electronic signage of Holzer’s Truisms or the neon works of Nauman and Emin and, again, an analogy with music comes to mind.
