Murray Street Counter
June 22
Update: Check out page 11 of Tuesday’s West Australian for a run down of ‘Counter’. It’s an art installation commissioned by the City of Perth.
This interesting little distraction was being set up in Murray Street Mall at 8.30am this morning. It’s a person counter. The number on the display counts up every time some one walks through. You can find it directly opposite the entrance to the Perth Underground Station. By 5.30pm it was up to 2000.
Don’t ask me why it’s there, but it sure is intriguing. If you have the story behind the Murray Street counter please let me know. It must have a more meaningful purpose than enticing high school kids to run in circles around it (as seen in the accompanying photos). Countdown until a drunk bogan causes structural damage to the counter.

My thoughts?
It could be a form of viral marketing, but I’m putting my money on an art installation. I know there are a few groups who are doing fine arts collaborations around WA at the moment (Arts and Science/Engineering/etc), seems like the sort of thing I’ve seen being done for those. It’s not nearly as odd as a desalination device that is designed not to work… still getting my head around that.
That’s just a guess.
Counting the number of secret government microscopic chips injected into the skulls of ignorant participants?

Duh, it’s soooo obviously a time machine. I got in one and was transported back to 1997. It was brill. Connections was playing great music, there were gay people at the Court over the age of 16 and Pride was huuuge. Like, totally awesome.
