Just wanted to call attention to two of Anny Ballardini's posts which come very close to being real versions of Giovanni Battista Piranesi's "Roman Fragments" series from his Lapides Capitolini. For a very interesting discussion of Piranesi's fragments and the aesthetics it proposes which really isn't that different from say Bjorn's codework, see p. 172-176 in Barbara Maria Stafford's _Body Criticism_.. + some great wallpaper! I picked up the two lovers swimming
arm in arm in the ether like ghosts or psyches..

specifically this image is what i thought of:
