VARIATIONS ON VASARELY, PART 1

The elevator comes to a rapid halt and opens onto a large vestibule, topped by a vaulted ceiling marching off in silver arcades.

Long steel desks are aligned on either side of the vast corridor that offers itself to my steps. Behind the furnishings, many employees move in different ways… it’s impossible to understand what they are doing. I can’t tell if they are excited traders launching virtual orders, or if they are making kitchen preparations for a high-end gourmet restaurant. Abstract paintings with geometric shapes adorn the walls… I must be in an artistic center rather than in a stock exchange room or a workshop… Maybe a bit of all this… But no, when I get to the end of the vestibule, I understand. I come out into a large room with many tables set. Strange beings (I recognize the half frog, half human) are seated there, and apparently sampling some extraterrestrial gastronomic lunch. Robots pass by, vibrating softly, serving strange dishes; many looking like jellies made of various metallic and shiny substances.
