This site-specific piece was designed for the 1990 addition to the Meat Laboratory (Linear Accelerator Facility), which is a facility whose primary purpose is to irradiate food. IAS files contain copies of articles from the Iowa State University College of Design Newsletter 9 (Fall 1992); Iowa State University College of Design Newsletter 7 (Fall 1991); Iowa State Daily, Oct. 30, 1991; and Iowa State Daily, Oct. 21, 1991. The articles discuss the artists' goals to provide mental access into a facility that is inaccessible because of its function; the high energy electrons and x-rays used to eliminate bacteria are dangerous, necessitating a windowless building with ten foot thick interior walls.
