- Speaking of public art, is there a way to see the light images at the University
- Street tunnel station without seeing them out of the corner of your eye?
-
- FOr those of you unfamiliar with the piece, it looks like a wall with flashing
- red and gren bars of light, each about a foot long. If you glance at it and
- away from it quickly enough, you can see that the bars of light are actually
- designed (programmed?) to be symbols ("airport", various currencies, etc.)
-
- If you're not looking for them, you won't see them. And if you do _look_ for
- them, you won't see them either. You have to conciously "glance" at them.
-
- Not as challenging as random dot stereograms, but that's another story...
