I caught this tag on the way in today, tied to a temporary police barrier at 9th Avenue and 13th. It must have been attached with in the last 24 hours or so, as the fences are a recent addition to the corner. The small print along the right-most edge reads: evoldeeds.com.
Curious, I visited. The website seems to indicate that the tag is part of a larger project that will launch to the public on April 10th, it also provides a contact address, to which I've written. Further info TK.
someone was posting tags like those around my campus, during the last snow fall. they were tied with long pieces of string to tree and plant branches and had quotes from poems and theorists about snow on everyone. i never had my camera when i saw them.. and most people i talked to never noticed them.. sad really.
The project you describe sounds beautiful in it's simplicity. Sometimes the least complicated, most innocent gestures communicate most richly.
Nice as well, that the site specificity was considered and so easily conveyed to the viewer (something apparently absent from Evol's work).
It makes me happy to hear that you associated the snow piece with mine. I'm pleased to know that some of my thoughts do travel accurately (sentiment and tone intact) over the cables and dishes of the web, and that they resonate with the occasional reader.
i've seen some of these new "tags" too! love the project..

Paige,
