Behold the permanence of the impermanent

1. Laminated child art from 10 years ago, serving as a long term mouse surface. 

2. An (illegal) copy of a textbook from 25 years ago, serving a second career as screen stand.

What does one call this kind of sustainability, and how would one evaluate it? 


Objects created for temporary purposes acquiring a permanence that their more serious counterparts never achieved.
