Man of Cardboard
Nov. 19th, 2009 08:07 amI share the office with two colleagues, S and J.
Colleague S recently-ish took delivery of an all singing, all dancing huge tower machine to run various virtual boxes on. Said PC also came with 5.1 surround sound, so much testing of said was done when it initially arrived (for a work PC, that thing's surprisingly loud), but the pertinent part for this tale is that the system thus was shipped in a veritable plethora of boxes.
This was a fortnight ago.
The boxes are still here. So Colleague J decided that a hint that the packaging should be cleared out was in order, and so now the office has its own art installation: Cardboard S, whereby a cardboardman bipedal object has been constructed against the whiteboard. It has legs (monitor and some other flat box from within the assembly), torso (the actual PC's box), arms (keyboard for the left, some unfolded packing card for the right) and head (I'm guessing that's the subwoofer's), all topped off with Colleague J's fez (no good office should be without one), and a beaming happy smile courtesy of a series of PC screws.

All in all, quite a feat of artistry/engineering/sculpture!
