When I Win the Lottery...

A few million will definitely go to the proposed "Favre Era Video Cyclorama," an art installation of many hundreds of television screens, each showing one game of Brett Favre's long, long career. According to Tim Laun, the artist,
The Favre Era Cyclorama on one hand embraces the spectacle of sports, and on the other offers something different: a catalogue of every moment—winning, losing, thrilling, mundane, embarrassing or legendary. In the Cyclorama, each game holds equal weight and serves as a building block, both literally and visually, in Brett Favre's career and a televsion spectacle many fans have experienced.
I especially appreciated the interesting section on cycloramas as art.

Note to Vikings fans: no, I won't donate any putative lottery loot to a four-screen installation showing your losses in Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX, and XI. That would be cruel.
