I just came across this project today, I think from Flickr Explore? Anyways, it’s an awesome idea… a really great use of the web and Flickr to bring people together to form a coherent collective art piece about random tidbits from our respective country that helped form the world we know today.
The artist statement:
I don’t know about you guys, but one of the greatest thing about flickr for me is that there are so many different cultured people on here. Especially with people doing the 365 challenge, we get to experience the life of someone from the other side of the world! So here’s my challenge, I want everyone to create a photo (it can be as creative as you wish) with your name written on it (can be your real name or your flickr name), where you live in the world, and one thing your country has brought to the world.. you can write this on paper, on cardboard, on yourself.. anything you wish! And at the end I will make it into a video with everyone’s photos! It’s time we put some photographers on the map =p
