    Updates in found art

    Updates!! This is the video of me leaving the iPod made in an altoids tin for the theme of music at a cafe. Please keep in mind that this is my very first attempt at making a video, so the resolution is not too good. (I used my digital camera)

    I also took a picture! DSC02158.JPGI placed a post it note on it explaining that it was found art, and meant to be kept, etc.. I've found this makes it easier for the one who finds it to take it with them. I saw a few people look at it, even OPEN it but they all left it there!!! (??) I still don't get people!

    DSC02156.JPGToday I left the pocket superhero flyers around in parked cars, I was so scared someone would see me! I only managed to take ONE picture, I felt like if someone saw me approaching their car that they would think I was trying to steal it or something. Why was I so scared? I almost got caught too because there was someone sitting in their car as I was trying to leave the flyer, but lucky for me I saw them so I walked past it... I have to be more brave next time! I still have a few left so I will keep them in my bag and leave them wherever I can. And Tanaya: It would be great if you can leave some in Chicago too! that would be so cool!!

    Hey, I do these things too! The notes I write on price tag hangers, the kind with strings - that makes them easy to hang on car doors, trees, etc. (for a quick getaway). Nice to find your site - I will be back!

    Hi, I found your website yesterday and read through the whole thing. This is sooo exciting. I am an artist - mostly painter, and would love to participate in Found Art Tuesday. Is it alright for me to link to your site next Tuesday and use your theme and format (taking a picture where I leave it, etc.)? This is such a great idea.

    Yea

    Your little experiment is catching on! How exciting. I am so glad I came along for the ride!
    I don't get people either! You would think that someone would at least read the blog and comment...at least a thank you!

    I hope someone's picked it up by now. ;) I get scared, too, when I do things like you did leaving those flyers on cars. I have all kinds of fun guerilla art things I'd do if I wasn't so afraid someone would see me. :)
