Jonas from the Unfiction forums picked up this postcard in Bologna Airport. (Thank Jonas for the pics)


Speculation

On the front, there is a painting. You're right about the windows- they stick out and definitely *seem* to be binary code 
or something. Not so sure about them being jibberish- makes me think perhaps they want to lead you on and on and on because... 

I flew all over the BACK side of the card and haven't deciphered anything yet. On the left-hand side is the note starting "my 
friends-" At the bottom is the authentic "Sente" signature, underneath it www.perplexcity.com upside-down. At the very bottom
in small print the card reads: "Image on reverse: 'Perplex City Sleeps' (artist unknown), #02 in a series of postcards depicting 
the city at night. The full set is available from the Academy gift shop."

Ok, how convenient that the artist is "unknown", and where is "The Academy"?!

Moving on: The right side of the card gets trickier. Upper right, I'm sure you've all noticed 2210, then the black and white 
postage-stamp strange looking square. UNDERNEATH that square is a series of very very small numbers, which have had me wrapped 
up for quite a while!! The series is: 221545484848465100503215

Had to look long and hard and battle tiny text for that one. Any clue as to what THAT means?!
Now for the blackened text! Underneath "Mc, please expedite global release. S" are five lines of blackened text. I went 
all over my town today putting these under black light, red lens, green lens, backlighting them with high-powered 
opthalmologist's equipment- THE WORKS, and have decided that on this mass-produced, photo-copied card, the lines, comprised 
of small red and green dots (thanks to a high-powered lens...), are only there to mislead you. I think the windows on the 
front side in the painting are more...."
