(UPDATE: 2009 IS OVER! I WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE EMAIL-ANNOUNCEMENT-LIST BELOW FOR FUTURE CALLS FOR SUBMISSIONS, PARTICIPATORY PROJECTS, AND OTHER IDEAS. SO YOU CAN STILL SIGN UP BELOW. FOR A COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF THE 2009 IDEAS, CHECK THE TUMBLR PAGE. IN SEPTEMBER 2010 A BOOK WILL BE PUBLISHED. CHECK THE DECEMBER 23 IDEA FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO SUBMIT CONTENT TO THE BOOK. THE 2010 EMAIL LIST HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED.)

FOR 2009, IDEA SUBSCRIPTION__

For all of 2009 I will send out small texts of simple instructional ideas through the mailing list below. I will also post screenshots of them on this tumblr page. These will not be done everyday, only when i feel like it and have access to the internet. But the attempt will be to do them everyday. You can also receive these in the postal mail.

Name: E-mail:

All of these ideas can be seen as "open source." I am relinquishing all control I may have over them on account of my position of thinking them up and publishing them here. In the act of sending them to you, you are granted, with absolutely no restrictions, full creative power over them. Feel free to realize, change, steal (you can't steal something that is free!), publish, claim as your own, destroy, become influenced by (either because you like them, or because you hate them so much that they give you better ideas), appropriate, spray paint, or anything else with them. You do not need my permission for anything.

Postal mail subscriptions: for those who want to receive these through the postal system. Mailings will include the texts, as well as other supplementary items (including photographs and anything else I may happen to find). These will most likely be mailed out weekly. They are $20 USD a month. Email for info:

In 2008 I took a photograph of the sky everyday and emailed them out to a list of subscribers (as well as mailed them through the postal mail). As the list grew, and since the emails were so frequent and similar, spam prevention tools thought I was spamming, and the emails started to get returned. After attempting to thwart these prevention tools, I finally gave up and the list ended pathetically as a Google Group, in which I was not able to send image files, only links to files. ALL 366 (LEAP YEAR!) IMAGES CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE IN A ZIP-FILE AS SMALL RESOLUTION JPEGS (BIG ENOUGH TO USE FOR VIDEO). If you contact me I will burn you a data-DVD of all the high resolution files for the cost of materials. Like the above ideas, you can use these photographs as you please, with no permission from myself.
