Magic

Playing Poker and
Walrus at the Opera with Topologists in their Natural
Habitat (Jan 07)
For the first time since my campaign began, someone removed some of my
notices. To be fair to them, the notices were descriptions of
the
blank wall space where a painting wasn't. However, after the
demise of Null and Void I am pleased to announce that the paintings
which have subsequently filled the spaces, while marginally better than
the wall itself, are not exactly masterpieces. Enter me...
It was the work of minutes to put together my next set of descriptions,
and the idea to do the sizing and cutting on the roof of the maths
block was inspired. I decided to go with a Magic Eye theme,
since
the paintings were reasonable in their own way, but gave the impression
of a computer desktop background pattern as opposed to a gallery
hanging. I thought making people think there was some reason
for
standing nose-to-painting would be quite amusing. Let's hope
it
results in some photographic evidence of gullibility in the near
future.
February 07 update:
On my
fairly regular check-ups, I noticed that Warwick have not only removed
my notices, but have actually physically removed the notice-holders
from the walls, only to be replaced by (again, blank) holders of a much
more convenient A4 shape and size. It was the work of a
moment
(well, a couple of days - open days make the Maths Department a bit
busy at the moment) to reinstate my notices. I don't claim
that
they are an accurate description, but in my humble opinion, they're
better than nothing. So until Warwick actually think of
something
to write about these artworks, my description is all anyone will see:
This most recent opportunity finally afforded me some video footage of
the process (I think it's all the more amusing for the fact that should
anybody bother to google the issue they would find pages of
indisputable evidence that it was me): Modern
