		the angle of departure/arrival refers to the experience of travelling on the highspeed train towards/from Rotterdam. Triangular displays with images of e.g. water, harbour, city, industry or seaside emphases that the traveller is passing this specific and unique place. While the displays at the triangular site are positioned statically and at random the traveller views parts of the image through driving along. Through the movement of the train the viewpoint changes constantly for the passenger, one never gets the whole impression of what is shown at once. Therefore it can be experienced in different ways, on different layers, depending on the route of the traveller and the train self.Another aspect of getting the whole picture is therefore the distance: the further away the better the impression. There will not be a need to approach the site itself as it is not accesible to the public due to the railtracks around.
