Nicola C. did the Cross-Stitch piece “Bad Character”, representing the system error when ” a character in your data that the system is choking on”.
Nicola’s cross stitch features the text “Bad Character” and a number one (1) in parentheses underneath. The text has a bottom border of peach, green and blue flowers, with black dagger characters (‡) in the centre of the flowers, the symbol used to display subfields in OCLC’s Connexion.
This piece doesn’t represent data as such, but one could imagine adapting it that way (e.g. including the number of times this error occurs over a month in the small flowers, color-coded by the type of material).
