interactive art

a lil late with the post but...
better late than never.

after nell's presentation last week, another interactive art intiative that i was reminded of is the yellow arrow project. http://global.yellowarrow.net.

this public art project is interesting because it is completely appropriated by the author. the premise of the project is that you request a package of yellow arrow stickers. each sticker has a corresponding number. you place the arrows all around town. people can see the stickers call or text a number then recieve a personal message relating to what that arrow means. for example i saw a yellow arrow on the back of a praking sign on mass ave. i actually texted the number and the message received told me to look up at the hancock tower. the messages can range from overtly political to personal messages... it's all up to how much you want to share and say.

the virtual interface sends the message but i enjoy the fact that there is still the physical presence of the sticker....

and i'm always a fan of good, meaningful graffiti.
