A haul of submerged magnetophors from the Leeds – Liverpool canal. There is a concept in computer programming which is taken for granted and that is that of the  object. An object is a piece of memory that you can allocate values to. An object is variable:  you can call it Pauline, assign a value of 6 to it or give it a cat’s face. An object can be  anything, or it can even be a container for other objects. It can even be empty. An object is  essentially a metaphor representing an enormous potential in terms of narrative and interpretation.
