Wow! This is "wicked awesome". I liked playing, spot the RISC workstation. I found desktop HP 9000's and an AlphaStation or two. Plenty of old timey 680X0 series and early PowerPC Macs.... Delicious.
I love me some 21164's.

This reminds me of the stone ruins I saw when I was in Scotland for school. Very cool site; thanks for posting it, BP.

Yeah, I don't know about being able to "feel" the electrical field. There might have been a lot of heat generated or something, but it's not like people don't squish lots of monitors and computer into a small room on a normal basis. Sounds like fake over poetic speech to me.

Amen, baby.
Also, we now know where J. J. Abrams gets his ideas.

I'm a quasi-modern art fan...
In that I like modern art a great deal, but don't spend a heck of a lot of time following it and only on the most casual level.
Now, is it me or is installation art becoming the only art that is interesting anymore?
Or is it just me?
Keep in mind, this is kind of a blanket statement by a guy who goes to a gallery like once a month.
Thanks.

This is exactly the kind of thing that my program at Ohio State loves. Sweet.

If there's enough of a field wouldn't it produce a static charge sufficient to twitch small hairs? Kinda like standing next to a big Tesla coil? Or am I totally full of it?

What happens to the computers afterwards? I'm not sure if this is reuse or just a way to postpone throwing them out.

There's nothing here that Nam June Paik didn't do better twenty years earlier.

You are totally full of Tesla coil.
A shocking statement, and totally uncoiled for.

I don't think we need this kind of static here. I don't want to see anyone get charged.

Maybe by "electric fields" they meant static electricity?
