INTERNATIONAL ART PROJECT




AN INTERNATIONAL ART PROJECT

Compared with the infinite size of the known universe and the distance between galaxies, the distance between person to person on planet Earth begins to seem microscopic! We are all closer than we realize! Even so, with six billion people and even billions more species, coupled with the exponential growth of technologies that increase our separation, it is easy to feel disconnected and alone...

This project, stemming from individual community art projects and growing into an International art project, is about sharing the moments when you felt connected to something greater than yourself... maybe to another person, an animal, the environment or to any possible interpretation of God. Someone on the other side of the planet wants to feel what you felt when you could have sworn the universe was closing in on you and maybe all you could do was squeeze the hand of the person next to you because there were no words to describe, or the moment when you wanted to scream, "Did anybody else just see that?!" Someone out there wants to know about the time when you caught a stranger's eye and you both just smiled.

This worldwide collection of moments of human connectivity are encouraged from ALL walks of life with no discrimination whatsoever. This project is an extension of myself and without knowing it is an extension of you too. The principle point is that I can't do it alone.

MAY- "Then I noticed the guy in front of me, and he looked as mesmerized as I was".


"Everything would have seemed quite mundane; was on the bus on my way to work staring out the window, and someone infront of me was looking out the same window, at the same bridge that millions of cars go over, but when I looked at the grass around it I felt it. It felt like my spirit was looking at the world, and I could understand how it saw the beauty which existed in a single blade of grass. And then billions of blades of grass, and the curves of the roads; everything inside of my being felt immense gratitude and love for everything. And then I noticed the guy in front of me, and he looked as mesmerized as I was and I pondered if he too was feeling something too, and intuitively I knew he was, and I felt like both of us knew we were sharing the same moment, looking out that same window, and we were grateful."
