For The People
Through out my Journal entries I have focused on myself and how I describe my senses, how people react to me, and how other people affect me and my surroundings. So I decided to focus on the people. Without people walking around and being part of my day, my projects/ journals would be impossible. So I decide to create yet reconstruct my projects and journals, I am creating a new journal so that I will be focusing on what the people mean to the world, and giving back to them for giving so much to me, and I am reconstructing Project one in using Sama’s suggestion on giving back to the people. So I wrote “thank you” on one side of the paper and taped to quarters to each, and on the other side I said “thanks for being you, it helped me”. From there I taped these papers to areas where people would need the money in order to go on with there everyday life, places like a parking meter, pay phone, pay station, newspaper stand, and soda machine. While I was taping these messages, I almost felt guilty, like I wasn’t giving enough. But after observing each place I taped my message for about 10 minutes, I began to laugh. I observed people watching me taping this “piece of paper with money” on different objects, staring then looking at the message then they continued walking and then looked back again. No one in any of the five places took my offering in the 10 minutes I watched them. I thought it was funny that no one picked it up, that now my message was a part of the object. I hope to go back tomorrow to see if just the money was taken, or the whole thing. I hope my contribution to the people helped on person today, because it helped me feel better about using many people to help aid my projects during this pre-session.
Now Hurry! Maybe you could find one!
