These are video stills from a project I did with Jeff Minton for the NY art organization CreativeTime.
Video coming soon! Oh yeah! Don’t stop til the sandwich drops!
This is it! I mean every time I jump in the pool, get in the shower, or relax in the hottub, the very FIRST thing I wanna do is make calls – well hot damn, now I can! And for only $1790. Thanks SkyMall.
Oh and the image really sells it. She looks so pissed!
Sharon: “Mike are you scuba diving again?”
Mike: “No?”
Sharon: “Ok, well make sure you’re home by 6, the Briddles are coming over for dinner and I need help with the tuna casserole!”
Mike: “No problem honey! Love you, see you soon.”
They hang up.
Mike: “Thanks SkyMall! Now I can scuba dive and nobody will know!”
What I’m wondering is where are the underwater cell phone towers? No matter.
Thanks for finding this Stanya Kahn.

This is a project I did with the infamous Sir John Hargrave of Zug. We actually went to Charlize Theron’s house, snuck in with the builder crews, and installed some celebrity gutters. She wasn’t there, but I’m sure she appreciates her new gutter guards.
For parts two and three (Charlize’s gutter install), visit http://bit.ly/celebritygutters_pt2 & http://bit.ly/celebritygutters_pt3
Alex Johnson and Babelgum crew made a cool doc about the Google Maps Road Trip Pete Baldes and I took. It’s nice and short and my eyes are really wide open for some reason.
Here’s their description of the vid:
“Whether it’s stretching 1500ft of extension cords from his kitchen to a park to make coffee for passers-by, spending a year dining with strangers across the US, or helping others run errands with the use of a mule to cheer them up, Marc Horowitz’s work revolves around culture jamming, social practice…and just making people feel good. When fan Peter Baldes approached him about doing a cross country road trip the two strangers decided to complete it virtually instead, driving all the way from LA to Virginia…on Google Maps, using the arrow keys to ‘drive’. With a host of ‘back-seat’ drivers joining them and a commitment to keeping close to reality the two toured the country for nine days. We join Marc and Peter as they take their project live for the first time in front of a real-life audience.”

Check it out. Micki Krimmel and I talk about branding yourself among other semi-soft things.

These are some highlights from Pete and my virtual cross-country google maps road trip. To learn more about it visit the GMRT wiki, or scroll down and see the previous posts about it. The vid quality is so weird cause it was edited from .flv files off ustream.tv. sorry, this is the best it’s gonna be.
Hugs!

I led a workshop at the NYC conflux festival this past September with a group of super awesome folks. The idea was to collectively make a commercial for NYC in a single afternoon; brainstorm in the morning, immediately go out and shoot the commercial, then edit it that evening. The editing part got a bit delayed thanks to the swine flu. Nevertheless, here’s what we made! If you know Mayor Bloomberg, or are him, please consider this a submission for the official commercial for NYC. Tourism will triple, I swear.
