Description 'GSV Conduit' was inspired by the 'Culture' series of SF novels by author Iain M. Banks.
The piece isn't based on any particular scene, but I hope it gives some sense of IMB's
literary vision, and his liking for engineering on a truly massive scale!

This piece is also my contribution to the 'Project Aurora - Orange' online exhibition.

Pronz = older Internet slang for 'porn', deliberately misspelled to both jokingly imitate poor typing skills and get around keyword filters. Sometimes spelled with the zero digit instead of the letter 'O': Pr0nz.

Also, Project Aurora is really great and has many inspiring pieces!

Beautiful.Β  It reminds me of a combination of Chris Foss' work and the art of the late, great Peter Elson.

I haven't read any of Banks' works, but now it looks like I will have to!
