Seems legitimate but not sure if it’s what you expect for Xmas. Want a piece of the #Sydney Opera House?

..what a totally wild and beautiful trash-to-treasure story: Early one morning in 2005, a Sydney couple, Paul and Kristina, noticed a newspaper headline outlining major reconstruction going on at the Sydney Opera House.

Immediately, Paul went down to the Opera House and asked the construction crew what was happening with the leftovers from the renovation. Nothing! The rejected panels were on their way to the tip. So he returned the next day with a big truck and an even bigger crane – ready to relocate and recycle the Sydney Opera House!

STREAMFLOW CONDITIONS: EXHIBITION & EVENT DETAILS

Streamflow Conditions** is an online exhibition of electronic literature and networked writing curated by Judd Morrissey at the invitation of Subito Press at the University of Colorado. Beginning with a site-specific consideration of the Colorado landscape and its engineered waterways, the selection of works examines discrete markers in the contemporary data-scape of writing within networked culture. The artists and works chosen each represent an innovative use of language in conjunction with code, data, or networked spaces. The exhibition as a whole engages the overflowing boundaries between presence, process, and object at a time when currents of digital literary practice meet the culture and corpus of writing online (& the imminent google waves).

**gallery of works still under construction but please explore the site.
