I left my camera on the desk at home this morning; considering the last few days' crop of crispy cactus flowers I wasn't too bothered.

Of course, today was the day I ran across an art installation in one of the walkways of the Students' Union building. It consisted of nine square panels, each about eighteen inches on a side, in a 3x3 grid suspended in mid-air, adorned on both sides with collages made up of old computer chips, old cellphones, colourful compact and floppy disks, scissors, pencils, a keyboard, blowups of an old issue of the student paper ...
There was no documentation with it whatsoever, just a ribbon barrier to keep the curious at arm's length.

Perhaps it will still be there tomorrow. It's a very odd thing to have it crop up in the middle of Finals week, though.

I used to have a 12" x 12" printed circuit board that seemed like a work of art to me. It was a translucent green, and you could see layers and layers inside it. Apparently I finally found it expendable at some point in all my moves between 1976 and 1980 and got rid of it, and I still wish I hadn't.
