Another disintegration documentation -

"Stimulus Package I (Purple Haze Version)"

As promised yesterday, here's another version of "Stimulus Package I". Please see yesterday's post for a number of links if interested in knowing more. Here I'll reveal that the piece was constructed from an advertising insert in the Sunday papers, hence the title. As the piece itself disintegrates, let the individual power of the consumer return quickly to normal as the sort of real stimulus that will serve to disintegrate these difficult economic times. That said, it appears that the piece was recently taken away by an individual as opposed to the sort of entropy that was hoped for. Now, I need to decide if there should be a Stimulus Package II ... the answer is, "I think so." Stay tuned.

Disintegration documentation -

"Stimulus Package I (First Day of Spring)"
manipulated digital photograph
I meant to post this one a few weeks ago but forgot all about it. The work hails from Seth Apter's wonderful net art project, Disintegration Admiration, that is up to 118 participants at last count. It was a bright and sunny day compared to the weather seen in "Disintegration Admiration - The Movie". On Monday I'll post another version and, perhaps, reveal a bit more about my participation and the current stautus of this piece.
