From otherworldly...
...neuronal light installations...
...to bent sheet metal sculptures that defy explanation...
...this contemporary art museum and experimental lab....
...located in downtown Pittsburgh...
...is an uneven and curious place!
There's a cunningly fitted, large wooden orifice...
...set into the floor of a mysteriously locked room...
...which, one floor below...
...is revealed to be a chute into the wider world beyond.
(The reason for the lock is now obvious!)
There are bisected books and other objects...
...like inanimate passe-muraille.
A room is filled with sensitive electronic sensors...
...all programmed to react dramatically to fallen 'space junk'.
There are everyday objects gilded with 'gold leaves' (cheeky)...
...umbrellas hung as light fixtures...
...and beds, bolsters and reading lamps...
...which can be shifted from one room to the other, as required.
Tongue in cheek technological commentary...
...comes in the form of fake cats curled atop a different kind of lap...
...and in disembodied hands...
...endlessly scrolling the net.
Next time: a marvel of cardboard, found objects and stained glass construction.

Most witty!
Kathy- Some of it really was!! :)
My word, what a dizzying place!
Rachel- It was! There was a whole floor that we tried to see twice...but it was in complete darkness and you had to make your way toward exhibits that you couldn't see (light perception experiments) and it was just too frightening...we couldn't make ourselves feel our way into that space (esp. after those weird mannequins on the floor above!! ;)
