Amazing art night on April 3rd 2009. I participated in two events. The first was an art opening for Strange Coupling. I was paired with a University of Washington student and we collaborated on a video. The result is posted on my YouTube page and there’s a link a few posts down. While I was at the art opening for Strange Co. another spectacular event was taking place called Cell Everything. The brainchild of Genius Greg Lundgren, he enlisted 50 or so artists to give him their cell phone number. For one night only, April 3rd 2009, from 7:00pm-10:00pm people were invited to call the numbers. I am sure all sorts of shenanigans took place. I left a voice mail with instructions to send me a text. I plan to draw the texts over the next week and post them to my blog. Here’s the stats for what happened last night during Cell Everything.
When callers dialed, here’s the voice mail instructions from my end: Hello and thanks for calling. As part of Cell Everything I am proposing a text experiment. Hoping you are text capable, please hang up and text me some words. A short Poem, some prose, describe an image, a small story perhaps.
Then I will choose several texts and create drawings over the next week. The drawings will be posted to my blog. I will respond with my blog URL when you text. Thanks for playing.
Stats:
27 unanswered calls between 7:32pm-10:08pm
of the 27 people who called I received
8 TEXT MESSAGES (i thought that was pretty good follow through)
2 random odd voice mails
1 photo text posted below. Do you know who these people are?
Stay tuned for drawings based on the texts sent.
WHo Are They?
