Fun use for a vehicle wrap. You’re aware that Babs Kruger’s was a complete disaster?

This is, if memory serves, our third lesson in why Windows and Internet Explorer are unreliable platforms for unattended signage.

Plasma display shows Windows dialogue boxes and error messages and, in the system tray, 20-odd Explorer icons

Fabulously futuristic colour, self-replicating visual instructions (with copy errors, actually) – in short, everything you’re looking for in a towel dispenser.

I love these sorts of segmented displays. In fact, I’m kicking myself that I can’t find the article in an old Wallpaper<asterisk> about a London artist who does nothing but colour-field experiments.

“Urban” photos of graffiti-laden dumpsters are so retro they’re like wearing ripped-up jackets and mohawk haircuts.

Red dumpster graffitied with ‘Notice: No dirt, brick or concrete’
