A collective portrait of downtown New York. Twenty-one international artists were invited to create a personal view of the city and draw a map of downtown New York, uncovering a territory that is both real and imaginary.
It brings together fictional landscapes, utopian visions, private memories, and obsessive instructions to explore Manhattan, its past, present, and future.
An exercise in emotional geography, GET LOST sketches the coordinates for an endless drift across the streets and myths of downtown New York.
Obsessive Consumption started in 2002 when Kate Bingaman-Burt decided to photograph all of her purchases and in turn create a brand out of the process to package and promote. She is currently hand drawing all of her credit card statements until they are paid off, drawing something she purchases each day and continuing to make piles of work (zines! pillows! photographs! buttons! more drawings!) that all fits into this brand she's built which mocks her own relationship with her purchases. And here's a link to her blog.
"We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale.
Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world's newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling".
The interface to this data is a self-organizing particle system, where each particle represents a single feeling posted by a single individual. The particles' properties ? color, size, shape, opacity ? indicate the nature of the feeling inside, and any particle can be clicked to reveal the full sentence or photograph it contains.
At its core, We Feel Fine is an artwork authored by everyone. It will grow and change as we grow and change, reflecting what's on our blogs, what's in our hearts, what's in our minds."
Attention and drawing as time-based performance. O'Hara tracks the movement of the hands of people engaged in life activity. Essential vitality is caught and rendered visible on the page.
LIVE TRANSMISSIONS are drawn with both hands and with two or more pencils: people talking, working, dancing, reciting poetry, playing music, giving birth, repairing shoes, practicing martial arts. Other signs of life are also registered: movement of leaves on a tree, reflections of light on water, the tail of a pony, the flies on a cow, the movement of the incoming tide, the beating of a human heart. It is a body of work which grows as an international organism, a process of thinking about human life as diversified vitality.

Five ways to map the world. Five stories: one about people who who map the world the traditional way, by drawing maps of things you can see. The other stories are about people who map the world using smell, sound, touch, and taste. The world, re-drawn, by the five senses.
