I am once again in the UGLi, enjoying its dampness and disrepair. (This place can't be good for books.) I just discovered an accidental art project that I would recommend others to check out, if you get the chance. Entitled, "Are You Here?" it consists of random photos stuck to a whiteboard in the second floor computer lab. I'm guessing that these were pictures students forgot to take out of the scanner before they left the lab, and the proctors posted them here as a sort of lost-and-found. Although the concept behind "Are You Here?" is rather banal, the images are not. UT students are a well-traveled (and cute) lot; there are pictures of exotic locales in Asia and Europe, as well as charming verandas across the south. In sum, "Are You Here?" works as a fascinating bricolage of the diversity and artistry of the UT student body.
"Are You Here?" at the UGL Student Microcomputer Facility, opens Sundays at noon to 9:45 pm, Friday. Saturdays 9am - 9:45pm

There is no good reason I've posted twice now about the ugli FAC building, but I also learned that space/noise/drone/whatever band Stars of the Lid, named their song "FAC 21" after a room in this building.
