I have passed this image loads of times on the bus and I thought it was a tailors dummy left there by a joker, it will look better as it rusts.

Hi Stewart, we probably won't be around long enough to see these pieces noticeably decay .. but it could be interesting to compare the different rates of atrophy between the figure on the outside and the one on the inside .. and have some visual way of artistically representing this!

Yes Tony, the weather beaten one on the outside will have more appeal. This is the first time I have blogged on another pc, I am now in a public library and I have also checked my email. See you Thursday. Stewart

Looks tech and a little bit like Minority Report images. Reminds the atmosphere from the game System Shock in some way.

Hi Odon, yep, some parts of the world think they've arrived in the middle of the 21st century .. but it's just a representation from our imagination.
