An horizon is the apparent line that divides the earth from the sky.

I’ve been playing with pink tape and horizons i found in the street.

The cool kids that invited Forays past spring to build the Labyrinth in Braddock, PA are organizing a benefit show this weekend at Secret Project Robot.  I’ll participate with my Construction Chandellier together with some incredible artists i admire like Josh MacPhee, Swoon, Barry McGee, Daphne Fitzpatrick, Paper Rad, Maya Hayuk, Faile, Kiki Smith, Steve Powers, Bill Daniel, Noah Sparkes and many more. (I’m thrilled!)Come and help rebuild a community with art! There are going to be film screenings exploring the post-industrial city, followed by a barbeque/food transformation at 5pm and sale and raffles from 6pm-10pm.

We finally updated the video of our old Labyrinth in Braddock, earlier this year. Laberinto was created out of founded palettes, tires and free sacaffolding from Craigslist. Documentation here.

Superstruct is the world’s first massively multiplayer forecasting game. By playing the game, you’ll help us chronicle the world of 2019–and imagine how we might solve the problems we’ll face. Because this is about more than just envisioning the future. It’s about making the future, inventing new ways to organize the human race and augment our collective human potential.

My superthreat is GenerationExile. I would like to work on temporary housing. I would need allies to superstruct. So basically, this is a game about organizing to rebuild the future (society). Play it.

The post where i found this is called “Beware-Gentrification”.

Remember you can deface gentrification too. If you need caution tape, come and get some, the supply is free and unlimited!

Francesca Galeazzi offset her carbon emmisions in the North Pole. I wish i have done this myself. I’m so envious. Just lovely.

I haven’t done anything bad. because I have offset the carbon emissions generated by the CO2 cylinder, through an online Gold Standard Carbon Offsetting scheme! Cool no? This is great stuff. one can go about consciously polluting the world, wasting energy, producing tonnes of waste and abusing natural resources without feeling guilty at all!! One can simply pay somebody to compensate for his/her ‘bad’ actions somewhere else, and become Carbon Neutral!

Don’t you think this is great?

I don’t know what she mean with “bad” actions,though. I wish moral were supressed from the climate discussion. Is so akward.! Specially when you are actually doing something good!

That’s right. Green capitalism.com

According to the About section of this hell yawwwn of a blog is SO easy!!! Ride a bike and eat organic. Fulfill your desire to be “GREEN” , so you can save money to buy in the future.

There is a seemingly-glaring contradiction between being “green” and being a “capitalist”. From the prices of organic produce at the grocery store, it would appear that I could save money by purchasing conventional produce. Saving money so that I can purchase other goods in the future defines capitalism: the trade of goods and services for money. By choosing not to purchase organic or local produce, I am contributing to myriad environmental and social problems. In other areas of my life I act in accordance with my environmental and social beliefs. For example, I ride my bicycle eight miles round-trip to work each day: rain or shine. I do this for many reasons:

• It is good for my health.
• It is good for the environment.
• It saves money on gas, insurance, and car maintenance.

What other behaviors would both exemplify my desire to be “green” and to have money to purchase the goods and services that I want in the future?

Fuck.Green. and eco-zoombies ugh!
