Nobody Slips on a Landmark

How 31 interviewees date the day a corridor's wet-floor sign turned into scenery

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities interviews 31 staff, students and cleaning contractors about the yellow wet-floor sign standing in each of four ground-floor corridors, and keeps their own words as the codes. The median day on which a sign stopped being a warning is nine, most interviewees call it furniture or a landmark, and 22 of 31 cannot recall the floor beneath any sign ever being wet, which the University now takes as the tenure at which a sign is asset-tagged as a fixture.
