==Evening at the Federation Square
Nick had a bottle of wine out that we simply had to help him finish before going on and out, so we had a great talk beforehand.
The Federation Square is a building based on a deconstructionalist theory of architecture--and it shows. The building has odd corners sticking up, angular halls that curve in strange places. We listened to an interesting promo of PlayEngines, an exhibition of electronic art and lit hosted by the Victorian Library.
Then we adjourned to a room with concrete walls that reverberated, and the conversation grew like a loud orchestra, overswelling the boundaries of the room. The noise was a bit much for me, and I fled before getting a headache, so I could actually be awake and function through the rest of the conference.
