Hello everyone: It's been a great week for Scott and me. If you haven't heard, our upcoming project "Tweets in Space" has exploded online, with features on sites like Scientific American, the NY Daily News, Chip Chick, and of course the Journal Sentinel (who broke the story), among many, many others. And the Twitterverse is all, well, atwitter with #tweetsinspace already, setting up the hype for what is to come in September..
Sadly, however, very little of this excitement has translated into the fundraising we need to make the project happen at ISEA (the International Symposium on Electronic Art), where we plan to project and beam Twitter messages towards GJ667Cc, a Super-Earth 22 light years away. We're barely above 20% of our goal with almost half our time gone. I'm wondering if you'd consider donating even at the smallest level - $10 - and/or perhaps encouraging a few of your friends, the social media junky ones (you know who I mean) to do so? We'd be well over our goal already if everyone who seemed interested in the project did as such. If you have any suggestions for us - whether about the project, our fundraising, or anything else - we're all ears! Here's the link (oh, and watch the video! It's v. funny). http://rkthb.co/7291 Thank you so much in advance.
