The front of a Connection Machine. There are LED lights on three of the four panels; one panel is slightly open revealing some processor boards. To the left 3 black Data Vaults are arranged, looking like a curved bar. In the background is the main lobby of the Center for Art and Media (ZKM) in Karlsruhe to be seen.
