public space is waiting for you…

All this talk of moving has addled my brain. Stupidly, I posted a link to somewhere that was taking submissions until April 30, 2003. Of course, April 2003 has come and gone.

This info was what I was thinking I was posting.

Oops.

But anyway, as I’m about to move to London, I’ve been doing a little research. And came across the Space Hijackers site, and began reading about the London Mobile Disco.

I think I can totally get into the idea of dancing in the street in the name of reclaiming public space. Ok, I could get behind any act of dancing anywhere. Your kitchen, even.

I remember awhile ago, there was a nice article in Adbusters about this, too.

Think about what can be done about public space each time you’re in some city like the one you probably live in where the downtown becomes a dead zone at night. All that space just waiting to be used creatively.

In the United States, we are inundated with too much space. Why don’t we begin to actually use it?
