Topic: The YellowArrow creates an interactive forum for people to leave and
discover messages pointing out what counts. Participants place arrows to draw
attention to different locations and objects � a favorite view of the city, an
odd fire hydrant, the local bar. After placing an arrow, a participant sends a
text message to 1.646.270.5537 with the sticker�s unique code and the brief
message they wish to connect it with. Messages range from literary quotations
to personal commentaries to game-like prompts to action. When a person
encounters an arrow, he or she sends the sticker�s unique code to
1.646.270.5537 and immediately receives the message associated with it on their
mobile phone. Through this location-based exchange of text messages, the
YellowArrow becomes a symbol for the unique characteristics, personal
histories, and hidden secrets that live within our everyday environment.
YellowArrow.org is the online gallery of photos and maps of YellowArrows placed
throughout
the
world.
