An exhibition stand in a trade fair hall in Hannover on a bright spring day, daylight from a high glass roof onto pale grey carpet, behind a low chrome rail a computer cabinet one metre seventy high with a light grey rounded frame, a large glass pane and a dark plinth, behind the glass ten rows of plug-in circuit cards with dense bundles of red and white wires, a small blue component at the top, at the front right a clear acrylic box holding a brown-green circuit board with white wires hanging down, the cabinet plain and unbadged, visitors in grey suits and hats seen from directly behind, faces turned fully away.
