I liked the concept but I was a little bit disappointed by the last photo. When I think of a wall mural, I think of something BIG! Had I been doing it I would probably tried to cover more of the wall space.
Yup, seems like 1/3 the size of what would be maximally pleasing. And that way the clock could be integrated into the image instead of just hanging there, the way clocks do, so smug like they're always right, like they're smarter than us.
Komar and Melamid is an art group that took surveys of art preferences in different countries and then made the logical favorite and least favorite paintings.
Maybe I'm just grumpy engineer, but I feel like the design got progressively worse. The initial "ENIAC" sketch would have been pretty nice as is, but I can't say that I like the final result. Sometimes just less is more.

Ironically 'getting a list of things people like and then drawing those things' seems like the exact approach an engineer would take

Some pics really awesome. I feel like I should paint something similar on my wall. But problem is I am not an artist and my drawings are worst.
