Sent in Pro­posal for “Peo­ple in Space”

I cfluxfacean’t reveal the details yet. Will wait for response from Berwick Insti­tute before con­tin­u­ing with dia­log for “Peo­ple in Space” pro­posal. The pos­si­bil­i­ties! Oh the pos­si­bil­i­ties! A 2010 Fluxus Hap­pen­ing in Singapore.

Fluxus in Singapore.

How absolutely ter­rific a prospect that is.
The Peo­ple in Space effort seems to oddly par­al­lel or, at the very least com­pli­ment, the Flux­Face in Space idea first posited by Cecil Touchon.

The What Are We Wait­ing For? which I have cre­ated and sent to the appro­pri­ate email is an idea which seems des­tined for great­ness. Then again, the I can’t help but admire the thought behind:

An inter­ac­tive artis­tic research del­e­ga­tion to the 2010 Shang­hai World Expo.

[My idea (which, I promise, will be revealed after Aug 17) can be uti­lized any­where.] To quote from the Peo­ple in Space Project:

What Are We Wait­ing For? is a curated project by Daniel S. DeLuca and San­drine Schae­fer as a facet of the Peo­ple in Space Project — An inter­ac­tive artis­tic research del­e­ga­tion to the 2010 Shang­hai World Expo. What Are We Wait­ing For? invites cre­ative thinkers from a vari­ety of back­grounds to con­sider the con­text of wait­ing in lines as an oppor­tu­nity to spark the imag­i­na­tion through unex­pected actions and inter­ac­tions. We are look­ing for ideas that are sim­ple to imple­ment, have a strong con­cept, and engage the peo­ple wait­ing in line. Pro­pos­als that are selected will be per­formed by a team of expert prac­ti­tion­ers in and through the lines present at the Shang­hai World Expo Pavil­ions. You come up with the actions and we imple­ment them as your surrogate!

Back to the Flux­Face in Space com­ment of ear­lier dimen­sions. Here is the skinny, the low-​down on the project. It’s not to late to par­tic­i­pate. Say it again, my peo­ple, It’s Not Too Late to Par­tic­i­pate. Once more with rhyth­mic unity, oooohh­h­hh­m­mmm, “It’s not too late /​/​to par­tic­i­pate /​/​it is not too late /​/​to par­tic­i­pate.” Cease. Now read the specs copied and pasted into the area below:

Flux­face in Space Flux­hi­bi­tion STS-​133 & STS-​134:
The Flux­mu­seum Goes on the Last Shut­tle Mis­sions to Space.

Gary A. Bibb in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Cecil Tou­chon have [sic] con­ceived an excit­ing new exhi­bi­tion project for the Flux­mu­seum. Using the Face In Space Pro­gram from NASA — we are orga­niz­ing a “Flux­face in Space” exhi­bi­tion to be launched into orbit on the last two Space Shut­tles! Artists are to cre­ate one orig­i­nal post­card sized work of art in any media (prefer­ably collage/​photo-​montage) with the themes of Space Explo­ration & the Arts, the Shut­tle Pro­gram, Out­er­space, Rock­ets, Astro­nauts, Astron­omy etc . This will be a com­mem­o­ra­tive project around the fact that the Space Shut­tle pro­gram is com­ing to an end after these last two flights.
