Pompidou meets US bank building

If the machine had blood this would be one of its vital organs. The aesthetic is consistent, Industrial. But how is it portrayed in the information age? What is the aesthetic of informational? Should my next image be a close up of a motherboard?

Shout out to El Segundo's Finest

Just want to give a huge thank you to the Chevron Oil Refinery and the El Segundo Police Dept. for their hospitality and for avoiding the strip search and cavity check in their homeland security exercises of inspecting my personal items and camera images. Apparently in our "heightened state of alert",photography of infrastructural buildings are suspect to terrorist activities. Not to say that I'm upset, I'm more or less conditioned to the institutional implementation of fear to its masses. I was free to go after a full written report and an explanation that I wasn't a terrorist. At least, they let me keep the pictures.
