@Natasha_Jay That moment when a minor troll becomes a truly epic troll...

@Natasha_Jay There used to be a good games shop on Elm Hill, I wonder if it is still there?

@Natasha_Jay some guy back in the day played counterstrike got angry and threw it outside and that’s why we have to fossilize keyboard

@Natasha_Jay It totally looks like old tile-work to me. Either way, the cement really deteriorated in 25 years!

@Natasha_Jay

It’s brilliant to see Molly Sole, the artist talk about how she created the ‘#Norwich fossilised keyboard’. I have recently read about her elsewhere, but it’s great to see her and photos from the time she made her work which intrigued and befuddled folks for a quarter of a century!

@JugglingWithEggs
I'm going to have to look more about her. Where did you find her?

@Natasha_Jay
It cool by the look of it

@Natasha_Jay

Originally I think I read about her in Norwich FB group post…but it looks like she’s updated her personal webpage since I last looked to include posts and photos relating to the keyboard - scroll to bottom:

@Natasha_Jay Most things like this were Done By somebody. It's like crop circles.

@Natasha_Jay @jbaert basically all i can think of is how that pavement has been in that horrible state all these years or is it Dutch to expect better maintenance?

@Natasha_Jay Everything about this post is so wonderfully fediverse.
