@DaveHogue Are you talking about this? http://www.slideshare.net/steveportigal/steve-portigal-disciplinarity-and-rigour/38 …
Help! Several years ago there was a contest to design a foreboding fence or border to warn about hazardous waste within. Know it? Have link?

@steveportigal@MattSugihara Yes! Turns out the keywords were "sandia" and "menacing earthworks", not "border deterrent" and "yucca" :\ -
@DaveHogue@MattSugihara A hugely influential thing for me to discover in the mainstream media. Anthropologists? Culture? Future? Design? -
@steveportigal@MattSugihara I'm speaking next week & wanted examples of design with meaning independent of words and arbitrary icons. -
@DaveHogue@MattSugihara What/where/who is your talk? -
@steveportigal@MattSugihara Opening keynote Nov 6 for Visual Media Alliance here in SF: http://www.visualmedia013.com/ -
@DaveHogue@MattSugihara Very cool. IMHO website is filled with fail (white on white text, vertical scrolling hijacked by horiz blog, etc.) -
@steveportigal@MattSugihara audience is primarily graphic and print design, not UX, so that may be part of the reason... - 1 more reply

@DaveHogue Not a contest, but “this place is not a place of honor” is a similar concept. http://www.damninteresting.com/this-place-is-not-a-place-of-honor/ … -
@tomhenrich True, wasn't a contest. Sandia Labs had consultants generate options for deterrent borders in 1993.#MenacingEarthworks
