Civic participation.
A series of brightly-colored disposable cameras were anchored at several iconic locations around the city of Ann Arbor. They were hung with a small, loosely-instructional sign which invited anyone intrigued enough to read it, to take a photograph. The cameras exhausted, the photos were developed and posted (as promised by our sign) to the following blog, where participants could see their photos and explore those of others:

Once posted, approximately 50 of the original photographs were turned into Postcards of Ann Arbor and released into the ether by balloon, glass-bottle-in-river, semi-trailer and passenger train. The image of Ann Arbor exported, trying to make new intercity connections.
The experiment continues.
