I begin with a brief summary of the now familiar box component of Blue String Drawing #1212: a designated recipient receives a box, which has removable collages taped to it. As the collage elements are removed, codes are revealed. The codes complete URLs that reveal web content.
Blue String Drawing #1212 consists, therefore, of several interweaving elements: 1. boxes 2. envelopes/letters 3. videos 4. web content There are three different of audiences/recipients. First, there is the recipient of the box, who is instructed to make a video of themselves deconstructing the box. Second, the video is shown to others who then use the information from the deconstruction to find web content intended for them. Third, there are the recipients of one of the envelopes. What I am looking for is several people who would write at most 250 words on the theme of "Memory/Object" interpreted quite broadly to mean what ever the writer wants. The texts will appear on pages of a website the urls of which will be revealed as collages are taken apart. The unopened box contains five envelopes, which are intended to serve as a mail art component of the project. For the envelope/mail art component of the box I want to have a letter written which would be included to be mailed once the box is deconstructed and so I am also interested in finding someone who would contribute a "letter" about memory. The links below take you to videos of past boxes being deconstructed and also images of what the boxes look like. The videos take a few moments to load because they are streaming directly from the web storage site S3. For the .wmv video you might have to click on the "launch in external player" link to get it to actually play. The two videos are different: Video of a box being deconstructed in .wmv format<https://sites.google.com/site/pythagoreanmetronome/home/bsd1212wav> Video of another box being deconstructed in .mp4 format<https://sites.google.com/site/pythagoreanmetronome/home/bsd1212mp4> Images of the boxes<http://picasaweb.google.com/thomas.garman/BlueStringDrawing1212?feat=directlink#> More information about the Blue String Drawing #1212 project can be found on www.pythagoreanmetronome.com. Please forward this to any writer who might be interested in contributing. The boxes are ultimately intended to be like the periodical Aspen used to be: Aspen Link. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_%28magazine%29>
