If you’ve ever read my “about” page, which likely dissuaded your continued interest in my blog (should I say I’m a 30-something for credibility?), you’ll know I was once on the fence between graduate school for public policy and art history. Knowing what I know now, I should have gone straight to law school and never looked back. But, in haste, I ended up at the London School of Economics.
It seems LSE has gotten some religion on public space (it’s not a very attractive campus), and commissioned San Francisco-based artist Michael Brown to create a super cool piece of public sculpture out of blue LED lights that literally reflects the research going on inside the library. Online database searches and the titles of books being checked in and out of the building are displayed– sort of like a muddled, real-time Jenny Holzer sculpture. Such a cool idea. Learn more details from the press release here and a check out a YouTube video of the piece in action here.
I’d love to do something like this for my blog, but the search “amateur ass” would unfortunately come up all too often.
