inside\\out

For my aforementioned photo class, we are starting a campus-wide public art installation in the style of the anonymous street artist JR. We visited his show at a gallery in Long Beach after he was announced the winner of the 2011 TED Prize, and received large prints of ourselves, which we then installed on the art building, following his "wish" for his project to be continued world-wide in our own communities.

Now, we are expanding to the entire community, including students, faculty, and staff. We started publicity and recruiting passers-by last Tuesday and today, and uploaded some of our results to our blog: http://www.biolainsideout.tumblr.com As the project progresses, we will upload every picture and start installing them on walls, buildings and steps across campus! It's so exciting to see both the diversity and individuality of my school in such a dynamic way.
