Random acts of sneaky art making

Water Collecting

Many of you know that the thing I miss most about California is my tide pools at Little Corona.

Maybe that's why this project seems particularly appealing:
What's Your Project?Project #111
Take a sample of every body of water you visit. Put them in little glass bottles and label them with the day and place. It could be an ocean or a puddle -- what matters is that that unique collection of pollution, purity, bacteria, algae, and such is a little time capsule back to that moment in time. Sometimes, if there is no water available, run a tap and label that bottle "so-and-so's tap". I recently found an old bottle of mine labeled "Grandmum's house" -- from before she moved in with my aunt, from before she died... This is all I have of her house and I now keep it next to my samples from Loch Ness and the Atlantic Ocean.

Thanks for sharing the project website, Bet, it's kept me occupied for far too long =)

The Sheep Market

There's a thing on amazon where people get paid to do random little tasks that computers can't do very well, like saying whether or not a grocery store is in a picture. It's called the Mechanical Turk.

This guy paid 10,000 people 2 cents each to draw a sheep. You can actually watch each one be drawn.

Visual Dictionary

One of the sites I found - called visual dictionary. Has people photograph words that the find, and then catalogs them into a dictionary. Really fun to look at. http://www.thevisualdictionary.net/

Here is the picture for "Restoration"

Yeah!

I love this idea Aaron. I spent my whole morning thinking about restoration ideas. My favorite site right now is
http://www.52projects.com

It kept leading me to other sites that were interesting. Start with the link over to the side that is called 52 projects. I think I might also purchase his book.
