Re: *** All hand made***

Re: *** All hand made***

This is one of the more interesting and potentially lucrative spams I've received today. Curious, I replied and they responded almost immediately in very broken English:

"Corner broome renwick 11 tonowt. NYcety. Only Cash. Bring self only. We watch on you. Lies no. heartfelt to thanks. Leu.”

Since I don't live in NYC, I asked my friend Eric if he wouldn't mind going in my place. He agreed.

I guess it's only a matter of time until I have some great handmade military ribbons. I could probably attach them to gifts, my shoes, maybe make magnets out of them. I'm sure I'll find plenty of uses once I actually get them.

Thanks Eric!! I owe you one man!

NYC Conflux Festival

A Tribute to America in a Closet in Geneva

I'll be in NYC from September 16th through the 23rd for the awesome http://confluxfestival.org/ . Please come out and participate, at least for my stuff. I'll be doing two projects and a lecture for the festival at NYU's art department @ 34 Stuyvesant Street 10003.

1) September 19th 2:00 - 2:30 - Lecture "I Get Around" - Marc Horowitz will discuss three of his travel-based projects. The National Dinner Tour, The Signature Series, and Google Maps Road Trip.

2) September 19th (right after the lecture) 2:30 - 3:45 - Google Maps Road Trip NYC - Peter Baldes and Marc Horowitz will perform a live virtual trip of NYC, in the vain of their recent cross-county Google Maps Road Trip project. They will take suggestions from the audience on what to visit and do on this journey. They will utilize google maps to navigate around, ustream.tv to broadcast the event live on the internet, youtube to see various NYC videos, and flickr to explore still images of the city.

2) September 18th 12:00pm - 6:00pm (at noon gather at Rosenberg gallery and we'll leave from there) - NYCommercial - Marc Horowitz will lead a workshop that focuses on making a commercial for New York City. Marc and the group (you) will begin in the morning by brainstorming various ideas for the best commercial for NYC. The group will then shoot the commercial; later that day, edit it, and finally post it to several video sites and the conflux website.
