Spread over three levels, some 40,000 square feet of the POWcityblog bunker is fitted with 1940s-vintage electronic warfare equipment repurposed to support psychogeographical and artistic analysis. Particularly welcome in winter is the warmth, reddish glow and gentle hum given off by this obsolete but still deeply powerful equipment. Despite these charms, Rochester relays, punch card readers, cathode ray tubes, copper switches, water-cooled vacuum tubes and gutta-percha insulated trunk lines and such require onerous amounts of maintenance and have made moving the POWcityblog bunker out of a gentrifying Poorkdale all but impossible. Nonetheless, we are very encouraged in regard to our righteous insistance on this strategic investment by recent trial outputs. Tying our processing suite to the Cray III supercomputer and thence the Internet allowed us to scope the gem above for example. A repeat image! A 1980s Baybette deployed at two different beauty salons in the same city but many blocks apart. A lovely and unique find. We now have the ability to fine filter the urban environment down to the nth degree. Nothing will escape the POWcityblog's panoptic consciousness now. Nothing!
editor's note: Nothing!
