phase 3

though i am still prefecting the tomato resin casting, i've been scheming other portions of the project up for review on thursday. phase three will be a public intervention. something dealing with spectacle and security. does anyone know the legal issues surrounding public nudity? i imagine its happened before in providence, especially with risd so close to the river. anyone have good stories?

The benefits of Shellac Graffiti

Trying something out. This was one of a few test runs. The bleed and font annoy me a bit, as does the actual word. Essentially, the technique seems interesting. It will serve as markers, my nodes as thomas was calling them, at moments both on a procession for thursday and throughout the city. I'll be documenting them through photographs. These I have been marking by "shrine". Not totally sure yet, but working. this is a small bit by the way, but something I could post tonight.

oh the benefits. Typically used as a way to easily clean a surface after grafitti, it in fact just darkens and glosses a surface. I think I am also into how it looks somewhat like piss on the sidewalk when it runs.

Asher naked is shrine, yes.

When Japan conquers the world

check out the Japanese gadgets (Chindōgu) @ http://www.chindogu.com/

http://www.chindogu.com/chindogu/chin9.html (this is my personal favorite)

you can actually submite your own invention and let your ingenuity be another 'as seen on TV' thing, pretty sweet.

on the face of it, Chindogu seems like an ideal solution to a particular everyday problem. But in fact, they cause so much more problems and even more social embarressment.


~ hands down, this is way better than bonsai kittens fad from 5 years ago!
