@glauber I'm sure they just use my work as reference without credit or payment, so not sure what they'd actually hire me for 😄 😕

As someone who plays a possibly-unhealthy amount of Satisfactory, I'm a firm believer in being able to tell at a glance that This Pipe Has Different Stuff In It Than That Pipe.
in reply to Joseph Meyer

@JosephMeyer It's such a gloomy and liminal space that the pipes seem a bit incongruous
in reply to Abandoned America

There’s an optimism in the color coding of the pipes, as pointed out in other replies. As someone who has attempted this in other forms (mostly Ethernet cable, tbh), I want these utopian phantoms recognized! :)

Abandoned, but the power is on? Did the photographer come to an arrangement with the owners? Or tap a generator on to the wiring?
in reply to Hugh Young

@hugh lots of abandoned places still have power believe it or not (part of it is in how I define abandoned which is out of use and largely deserted by people) - but yes, I did have an arrangement with the owners of this one

This feels like a Half-Life level. I need to follow each of these colored pipes to see where they lead.
