Near the sea in Mina, Tripoli, stands a work of art composed of 70 computer components and 40 chairs. The jumble of monitors, key boards, chairs, hard drives, printers and wiring connections, all caught in a cyclonic curve of grey cement, rises seven meters up into the sea-salted air.
The artist, Mario Saba, says it is a ''conceptual sculpture'' intended to comment on those amazing tools of communication that increasingly penetrate every corner of our lives. For want of a better interpretation, I would say it was a technological tower of Babel designed for worship in the new millennium.
