Day 36

My bedroom is now serving as a nursery for a component of the upcoming Project Space 333 Exhibition.  Many of the reconfigured filters previously shown now have chia sprouts.  The cooler enviroment of my air conditioned quarters has successfully slowed down the growth to more normal rates that will leave something for the exhibition.

It has turned out, up to 90% of the materials in both the open studio and upcoming exhibition were originally discarded or thrown away by various neighborhood businesses and factories.

Day 34


Sprouts have been very quick due to the warm and humid weather.  It has just taken 3 days for the studio to grow green.  I can now focus on the project space exhibition salted for the 26th,...10 days!

When not in the studio I like to walk about.  It is the best way to feel the city of Seoul.  Skip the fast food though.

Day 30

So I have been here a month and what one thing impresses me to no end?  The Toilet!  Yes, Korea has amazing toilets.  At first glance, this standard Korean toilet seems much like any other toilet with exception to the Star Trek console to the left.
You can probably get a decent idea what each button does....there is even a heated seat. With these options, Koreans do not use much toilet paper...there is no need to.  From a sustainability standpoint, think how many trees go to supplying the U.S. with toilet paper, certainly we can come up with something similar and jut as ecological sound!

Day 21

There is a new mobile garden here in Korea, a wheat-grass model which is airline friendly.  Here is a short clip:

I have gone out a few times and have some decent footage from sticking a magnetic gorilla-pod on walls and the like.  I really need a better video camera as some wonderful public interactions were blurry.
