New Art Monday: Parking Meter Talk



New feature on spudart.org
Today starts a new feature on spudart.org called "New Art Monday." Once a week I will feature what I've been working on. Every monday you'll see a new piece of art or how a particular series is progressing.

Parking Meter Talk
Parking meters around the city are all talking. Why are they all talking about the future? Find out at: http://www.spudart.org/blogs/art_comments/4676_0_6_0_C/

No "Feed me!"?
I like. Post-its are my new favorite art medium.

Sparx, you should make some "feed me" word bubbles and stick them on the parking meters around town. Or you can have the word bubble say, "I eat coins, what do you eat?"

Sparx, if you make your own word bubbles, you should take some pix and submit them to the "Parking Meter Talk" group on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/groups/parking-meter-talk/

Awww.. but.. we don't have any parking meters around town. The only ones I know of are in the campus parking lots, and no one uses those during the summer. :(

You'll just have to come down to Chicago. :)

I'll get shot. I've been shot at every time I've been in Chicago.

When I was walking by all the meters on my way home last night I was trying to think of things they would say. Maybe something in Greek. Then I thought about "faces in places" and your googly eyes project and wondered if any of the three of them would ever come together.

a funny story when i was on the Croatian Coast

One town we went to had a beautiful church dating to the 6th century before the Catholic/Orthodox split. However, I had my own religious experience in the side the church.

I walked in and a youngish man (late 20s, early 30s) greeted me, and said "hello!" and i said hello back. then he walked around the church once and said "God is Here!" then he walked around again and I went out. I thought maybe he was the guard of the church, since its not tourist season not many people were in town.

Then I went back in to take a picture. The man approached me again. He pulled out a pocket watch and said "This is time" then pulled out his cell phone and showed me the clock on that and said "or is this time, do you follow?" and i was like "um, yeah" i was like to my self "um, is this some sort of religious riddle? maybe hes talking about some sort of battle between modernity/technology or obsession of material things and simpler times" He walked around the church again and asked "What is time? Is time money, or is time the spirit" Of course I said "spirit"
The dude walks around the church AGAIN then he asks me "What is the spirit?" then i thought to myself and said im gonna play along and see where this goes and i rattled back to him some mystical Deepak Choprah crap "The spirit is the space between all the thoughts we have" he said "Right" then walked away.
