bestnonbuy

documentation of another twitter project
this one by @manbartlett
titled: #BestNonBuy

i went by best buy tonight
and with the help of this clue
found him

when i confirmed i wouldn't be buying anything either
i received the documentation above
which is 8/10 of a signed edition

we had a talk about technology & social media in one's work
and for me, manbartlett is successfully using twitter to engage an audience
in a process;
reading the twitter feed, one is drawn into the piece,
one experiences excitement, empathy, compassion
and gains an understanding of how someone else sees a world
that many of us inhabit without giving it a second thought.
for me,
the creation of a space
(be it 2 or 3 dimensional, physical or virtual)
where others can access a new experience
in an engaging and transformative way
is art.
