Well its a Sunday night.. so it's time for another project update!
I have been lucky enough to take a look through some of the update peices of work which were due in on Friday and I must say that are awesome! you guys have done an awesome job on your works! Remember another series of peices are due this coming Friday at 3:00pm, but if you have stuff ready to go beforehand, please send it to Nina... we need as much public works on the internet by the 2nd of June!

At this stage we are still going ahead with the the combined protest on the 30th (This Friday) we will be awaiting printing and tshirt information from the print team tomorrow... It looks like we are now going with an all black t with colured writing.. see below! I think this stiff looks better neways so hope you guys are happy with it!

In terms of a timeline, we have the 30th this friday with our combined protest march in the city from 5pm onwards. We will be all wearing joining in.. but happy for other suggestions if they come up tomorrow. I would also love to arrange a public art/design display in a public space on the7th of june. this will be just another way of getting this meme out in the mainstream! speaking about the internet meme, i think we are on perfect target. tomorrow we should get the website up online for the first time.. and in 2 weeks time will be accpeting use submited works...but we will need to think of effective ways of getting the message out there. be creative in your art expressions and you just might find that you are the next internet superstar!! think of ow we can all get the mesobored messgae across both online and off.. this is going to be the hardest challenege for all!

We are all going to be changing our names, status and display pictures on all our social networkds and IM clients from tomorrow for 2 weeks. please be preared to do this in class. Images and wording will be given to you tomorrow.

We will still be getting 5000 stickers printed for our 'Unmasking Mesobored" project which will be undertaken from the 7 and 8th of june! this will take place in many cities around australia and the world. A download will be available on mesobored.com this week.

Its time to start getting the message out to your friends, familes and support networks. tell them what it is all about and get them jumping onboard. it only takes one person to add their name to the mesobored roster... so get to it!!

Start thinking viral guys.. Viral marketing is the best way to get your message across.. put it in peoples face and they will take notice! but remember, its as boring as possible!

Last for tonight is the launch of kabanarama.com tomorrow. Now i am not trying to pump up my own public display or boredom here.. but you can join me 24/7 from tomorrow until saturday afternoon LIVE! on the internet to the world! Information and posts have already started going out to people about the launch.. so please log on when you can and check out what boredom means to me!

Please join us tomorrow as we present for the last time to Troy and Mark and we work out some of the larger scale projects that we are going to be implimenting over the next 2 and a half weeks! You will also be able to download the timeline and final outlines tomorrow as well.

Cya all then :-)

Does anyone know anywhere that sells bulk blank tshirts?

Unfortunately, the printing place that I contacted was unable to supply those specific colored t-shirts. He'll still do the printing for us, but we have to supply our own t-shirts.
....Or seeing from the comments that black seems to be a popular color, I thought maybe we could just get black t-shirts, with colored text.
What do you all think?

Mesobored T-Shirts are back!

Print team will be getting them printed next week. So could everyone leave a comment of what size t-shirt you want BY THIS SATURDAY, that would be great! I need to let the printing place know by saturday what sizes we want.

Also, could everyone bring $50 on Monday, forgot to make collections last time.

:]

Well today has been very interesting. After presenting such a formal and consumer based concept this morning, I am very proud to say that we have bought this project around 360 within the space of 6 hours! You guys must be congratulated for achieving this! We are now heading on a path that we were last Monday afternoon... that is on the path of creativity. Where boredom lies, creativty can expand the mind.. and through this idea, we want to see what YOU and the public can create.
Although mesobored is the state of mind, it IS also the project. Mesobored is almost a community that creates a positive sping on boredom.
As we have seen today, the project breif is very open for the next two weeks... design/create a peice of expresion of what the state of boredom is to you. It may be as basic or simplistic as you see fit.
One of the greatest parts of ths project is that everyone experneinces the emotion of boredom in a differnct way, for a differnce time span...so we are going to see some amazing expresions throughout the next two weeks!! Start creating now and remember to get in all this information by 3:00pm on Friday to the email address in the post below!!
