This scultpure, a flower made from surfboards, stands on the Prinzipalmarkt, a main shopping street in the old city center. It uses data from the weather, M√ɬºnster’s phonebooks (so any citizen’s name can appear) and, I believe, the noise of the people standing in front of it, to generate a random story. A friend of mine noticed that these storys tend to end with death.
This one might be nice to look at,…

These cages, standing in front of the public library, are actually a copy of …
… the ones hanging on this church.
In the originals, they displayed the turtored Anabaptists who seized power in Münster in the 1930s.
good news :).
