Inferno

I'm at "A beautiful Accident", the opening conference of Meta.Morf 2018 in Trondheim.  Part of the experience is the "Inferno" performance art project.

I felt as if I was in a Disco episode of Dr Who and the Cybermen.  And I mean that in a good way.

bookish view from a hotel window

I'm in Trondheim, Norway, for the Meta.Morf "Beautiful Accident" Conference.  It's rather icy out at the moment, although not too cold, at about -3C:

some ice in the dock

The hotel is lovely, and warm.  But the view from my window is a little odd (if somewhat apt):

view into the hotel
The hotel is built in a square, with some of the rooms overlooking the central dining atrium, rather than the exterior.  Down on the floor you can some furniture and a cutlery tray.  They look Lilliputian, but actually they give a scale for the "books", which are actually just wallpaper, and the spines are about two feet high.

views from a hotel window

I’ve just arrived in Trondheim, to be the “first opponent” in a PhD defence tomorrow.  (I feel I should have a sword!)

I’m in a hotel in the old town, with a view of a wooden building across a narrow cobbled street:



This highly angled view (taken through glass) is rather more picturesque than the view that greeted me initially:

The local “artists” could take some tips from their Granadan counterparts

And why do I feel my wifi code is in Welsh?
