Nathaniel Lieb and I are gearing up to present another new project this weekend at CONFLUX 2010, a festival for contemporary psychogeography (right after the exciting whirlwind of OCULUS at Bring to Light NYC last weekend).
Six Degrees of Attachment is a re-purposing of our hand-cast, plaster heart sculptures from ATTACHMENT.
Nathaniel Lieb and Sarah Nelson Wright will make 33 anatomically correct hand-cast plaster hearts. (Thirty-three is the average number in a person’s circle of friends, according to one study). We will leave the hearts in public places around the East Village, hidden at points of interest in the built environment. Some of the color-coded hearts will be given away at headquarters as well.
Each heart has six removable tags with instructions to give it away and a website where you can join in our project by recording the time and place of transfer and/or uploading a photo.
We will record reported hearts’ movements on a map as they come in, updating paths periodically, to see where the hearts travel, how they intersect and where they end up.
Check out our website & CONFLUX page and hope to see you at CONFLUX this weekend! Please email me if you would like to be involved with this project.
