Mobilizing Change - Poster & web project

The purpose of this project is to collect real - or reality-based data (at least: that's what I hope!) - in order to promote change.

This poster & web project is still in the early planning stages - and the most helpful now is your feedback. The image above links to the web page!



Polwigle: MOBILIZING CHANGE

***

Change of tactic

- to play better..

To benefit a million trees

Just an idea:
Art - and the impact of file sharing ----

To benefit a million trees - is inspired by following this blog and the Rainforest Fondation Norway's micro blogging on Twitter.

"The world's remaining rainforests are the battlefield for the most serious environmental problems of our time: the irreversible loss of biodiversity, and the threat of global warming. The rainforest contains more than half of the world's plant and animal species. Moreover, the destruction of rainforests accounts for one fifth of global emissions of greenhouse gases."

The idea is simple: free art / file sharing. The user can contribute an amount of their own choice, to - in this case: "save a tree".

This is about making art available to everyone - and at the same time give people a possibility to contribute in saving the rainforest. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?

I'm inviting you to take part in, and affect the progress of this idea - through this blogspot, or through the Twitter profile artprogress.

'Change As Challenge' on Facebook

I've just created a group on Facebook called "Change As Challenge"

Like this blog, the group was created as an extension of the art project - "CHANGE".

I invite you to be a part of the development and progress of the project - which will be exhibited during MOMENTUM 09, at Moss Kunstmuseum!

Feel free to join!

Change As Challenge

Change is so pervasive in our lives that it almost defeats description and analysis. One can think of it in a very general way as alteration. But alteration in a thing raises subtle problems. One of the most perplexing is the problem of the consistency of change: how can one thing have incompatible properties and yet remain the same thing? Some have held that change is a consistent process, and rendered so by the existence of time. Others have held that the only way to make sense of change is as an inconsistency..

This blog was created as an extension of the progress of a new art project titled "Change".
It's about Change As Challenge - for art / artists.

How do art apply?
