Giant Ancient Calculator

This giant depiction of an ancient calculator,

an abacus,

is on the outside of a local bank.

Clever.

Feral Appliances

Such a curiosity.

I was stopped at a red light

on my way to work one morning,

and there they were,

a microwave and a fridge.

It looked like they should be

holding up a cardboard sign

asking for help.

Art Installation, Mesa

This art installation was in its own little plaza

in Mesa, Arizona.

The red fence is hiding a power sub-station.

Abandoned #2

Detritus

displayed

where it was tossed,

settled,

weathered,

piled upon.

An odd sort of

attraction

to it.

Stories

hidden, lost,

embedded

in the castaway

debris

of anonymous,

unintentional

collaborators

in temporary art -

installation,

assemblage,

found-objects,

lost, but immortalized.

Taken 8 October 2010.

Spiral Art

Art installation suspended from the ceiling

in the Monterey Convention Center.

It looks a bit different from alternate angles:

I didn't find a plaque or sign that would tell me the artist and title.

I would love to know the story of its conception, creation, and installation.

It is like:

kelp

waves

DNA

Jacob's Ladder

birds in flight
