This video brought back some memories. The structure "Maud" was once located in the

Rowland Emett lounge at the Park Plaza Hotel at Avenue Road and Bloor Street in Toronto.

Had a few cocktails trying to figure out what it was all about. Fun, Fun Fun.

At 3.21, I think thats Rowlands computer, the memory is symbolised by the elephantine head (elephants dont forget) and the cyclist inside is the cycles the computer runs at etc meant as a compliment, he was the Monty Python of the sculpture world, thanks for the video, great stuff.
