Billboard Project
Myself and Jeremiah have begun another public art project:
In Dublin City, and elsewhere around the towns of the country, any billboard advertisements have been erected illegally and without permission.
The 'SUBVERT LANDSCAPE (TM)' piece turns a remote location of natural beauty into prime advertising terrain, with hundreds of passengers passing by this location via DART and Commuter train lines.
Pics will be posted up tomorrow.

Public Letters first draft summary:
132 letters have been dispersed in total.
96 of these were handed out on the street. The remaining 36 were delivered to people around the college.
In college the letters were handed out at about midday. A letter box was set up in the concourse.
The Dublin letters were handed out to people returning home at bus stops, and also posted directly into the letterboxes of various commercial premises around the City Centre (eg Laser, The Dragon, Tower, Karen Millen)
In general, ncad students were happier to receive the letters, and understood the concept behind the project.
The public were guarded and apprehensive, wary that they could get something for nothing, with 'no strings attached.'
Some pedestrians ignored us attempting to give them a letter, but the majority of the public took it, choosing to read it further down the street. In this case, they appeared bewildered, and looked back to see if they could spot us.
When they saw it was an art-piece they became more interested, some coming back to ask us about it.
One man in particular, waiting for a bus, was particularly pleased with being handed a letter.
NCAD students were more likely to return letters. I had received 5 letters back from students, there were more but alas, the highly-secure public letterbox was infiltrated by a criminal mastermind and the letters were stolen, presumably by said mastermind.
Conclusion?
