YellowArrow in Miami
I received a message from YellowArrow, about which I wrote previously. I was stirred to quote: This is a shout out for YellowArrow archers everywhere to have your message heard and your images seen at Art Basel Miami Beach!
As the crème-de-la-crème of the art world descends on Miami Beach for the Art Basel festival, the YellowArrow will be greeting this global art elite at every corner as the public art project that sweeps the show. Projections will roam the city's streets showcasing all the arrows placed by people around the world, stickers will be placed smartly on every beckoning surface, big lightbox versions of the YellowArrow will be installed throughout the city. And we are going to do a video installation on a large public wall on Saturday, Dec. 4 in the Design District, highlighting arrows placed by people in Miami and around the world leading up to the Art Baselfestival.
We are reaching out to people throughout the world, inviting everyone to place arrows that can be seen in this video by everybody in Miami. All images and texts uploaded before Dec. 1 will be included in the show. The video will also be showcased on the web during the festival as well as become a DVD that can be shown locally wherever there is interest.
I tried the video. It made the whole event - the act and the art - wonderfully clear. I found it reassuring to learn that the YellowArrow project is still very much in play.
And, for the bloggers amongst us, he also writes:
We've just added a new element to the site that I'm hoping you will be interested in experimenting with -- we now have RSS feeds that allow you to subscribe to the most recent arrows placed in a certain city, by a certain person, or any combination of the two in a newsreader or to integrate into a website (eg, add a feed of your arrows to your blog, or add a feed of all the arrows in Boston to a site about public art in Boston).
Hmmm. How's he do that?
