QWERTY: An Art Installation by Pablo Gamboa Santos

Using a typewriter to provide a (nonsensical) text backdrop for his drawings, artist Pablo Gamboa Santos has created a 200-foot-long installation titled "QWERTY" (some panels are shown in that link.) This may not be news to everyone -- I have this niggling sense that someone else's blog pointed this out already -- but my news feed just ran it past my eyes this morning, from a story in the Daily Mail.

Very nice. This is the first I know if it. I like the fellow with the tube. It is as if he is getting ready to dive in and swim in an ocean of letters.
