The idea

Public Intervention / Creative Disruption

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

ENTRANCE - ways to enter into this project:

ISSUE BASED – Is there a specific issue that you feel strongly about and would like to act on, or comment on in some way? That issue may be a public or social issue – global, national, regional or local. Examples: Global warming, Genocide in Darfur, Health Care in the US, Crime rate in Philadelphia. OR, your issue can be more personal in nature. Examples: cost of education, family, relationships, etc. Any issue is valid as a subject– from personal to far reaching – from political to social and beyond.
SITE BASED – Is there a particular site or place that interests you, yet you know little about it? It is peculiar, odd or particular in terms of its physical presence in the city? Does the site have a hidden history that you are interested in exposing? Example: a single house on a block with all businesses, a small sliver between 2 buildings. Sites might be in multiples, scattered about the city, but relational in some way. {to locate a site, you may have to traverse the city very slowly, pay very close attention, and question every site, every space}
MANIFESTATION - ways In which your project might manifest itself:
Distribution / multiples
Installation / Deposit
Action / Event / Happening / Performance




My Idea:
Make small sketches of passengers on the train, and short made-up stories to go with them. When they get up to leave, leave the sketch and story there, along with a link to this website and the date, time, etc.
