    Lend some credibility to visitors by showing what computer science does for everyone. Escher? No CS required. You might as well put up the Mona Lisa. Fractal Art? Yawn. Nothing says useless to the public like fractals and magic eye. Slashdot Story Art? Even this audience didn't have much nice to say. How about modern architecture, transportation or electronics? CSs are a varied discipline. Let's remember, the submitter says this is a university. Let's keep the Fractals and pi to a thousand places to individual cubes.
