By Sean Daly The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) this month unveiled a sculpture in the foyer of its building that gives a different view of the work undertaken in the faculty. The sculpture, "Computer Waste Bin", was made in 1995 by Dutch artist Margot Zanstra and acquired by FEIT in 1997. It is a perspex tube, filled with computer parts in iridescent primary colours with a light shining through them. The work was first sighted at an exhibition in Amsterdam by former Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Ross who alerted Professor Robin Stanton, then Dean of FEIT. Margot Zanstra was born in Holland in 1919. She lives and works in Amsterdam. A ballet dancer and choreographer of the Dutch National Ballet, she started sculpting in 1966. She mainly works on public art and has had many commissions in Europe, United States and Japan. In 1991 she was awarded the prestigious Henry Moore Prize for her sculpture for Japan's Open Art Museum. Current FEIT Dean, Prof Darrell Williamson said the sculpture was particularly suited to FEIT and enhanced the building.
