a bus schedule-resembling framed piece of paper listing the latest results on untimely deaths/suicides at MIT university. by hiding the information in a bus schedule-like frame located at the University's main building, the author, Leonardo Bonanni, hoped it would be treated with respect without being taken down.

"I guess if you carefully camouflage something controversial it can become public information without being torn down."

I'll be updating this post with new info as it comes through, some readers have been helpful in this.

Sigh. Leo Bonanni doing more of his patented self-promotion. Too bad he's a patented douchebag.

The paperforms are almost certainly made by a laser cutter, but amazing nonetheless.
