The Coup of Koepenick, Till Eulenspieglei, a vision, art? Heavy Metal! The oversized metal hail that seems to have narrowly missed the European Patent Office certainly falls under the rubric of phenomenal occurrences: some might see in this an allusion to a horror scenario, for others it might look like an attack from outer space, or maybe even a form of punishment for approving illconsidered patents in genetic engineering.

Most people, however, will see in its reflecting beauty a surprising art presentation. Nevertheless, the artwork is neither explained nor catalogued - it is something that remains to be discovered while walking by or as a visitor to the European Patent Office, on the south side of the building.
