The University of Twente

I took the train to Enschede monday night, and took exactly one picture during the four days of the conference. Most of the pictures here come from the utwente web site. The electric train was silent, with no sense of speed, however it was moving faster than cars on the expressway that ran parallel for a time, and railroad crossings flashed by.

The school has found space for numerous art installations while keeping their ponds and woods: simply dump the art in the ponds. Here we see the sunken village of Drienerlo, just outside the on-campus hotel.[NOTES]

Another art installation in the lake in front of the math building. This platform was designed to remain submerged except under certain conditions. This picture was taken in 1975, and the Staakman Island hasn't been seen since.[NOTES]
