bamber 128 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Where in Nottingham city centre was there for many years a piece of "public art" designed by a computer at Trent Polytechnic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 The roof of the concert hall (That stupid light thing)??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 No. It wasn't the scaffolding. You need to set your sights a lot lower to see this artwork. Although no longer apparent you can still see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'll guess at the artwork that was on the old tunnel at the back of the old Victoria Centre bus station??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 What about that underpass between The Broadmarsh shopping centre and the bus depot (I don't know if this is still open!!) Correct. The wall tiles were cream and brown and set out in a random pattern designed by a computer at the poly. The tiles are still visible but covered in paint.
