 I thought people might enjoy seeing this sign which was on the velcro wall at Generator in 1989. The velcro wall was a wall filled with cassettes attached to the wall with velcro. There was a Walkman in the middle of the wall and a laminated sign typeset on my Mac Plus. I still have the original sign because it was laminated. I had a laminator at Generator and I love it because it transformed pieces of paper or ephemeral items that would have gotten lost in a short amount of time to permanent official documents that last… almost forever. So because of the technology of lamination I had this original sign at the 2012 re-creation of Generator at AVA in New York. Notice how pixelated the original photo is from 1989 compared to the one from 2012. As time moves on documentation gets better. Not sure if the quality of life is better but at least it is better documented.
