HW: Barney exhibit

[Moonglum]

I missed you by half an hour then.  Didn't chat to Mike & Rebecca much but
they seemed like exceptionally nice people.

I kind of hoped the tube trains were the soundtrack to the Hawklords film,
with the ghostly factory workers apparating in a deserted laundromat harshly
illuminated by fluorescent lights (probably at midnight - in Tokyo)...

I can just visualise what a collaboration between Barney Bubbles and JG
Ballard would have been like.  Anyone seen Ballard's early conceptual
fiction, consisting of funky / radical layouts of technical literature like
sales catalogue descriptions of surgical implements?
