Human connections



"Walk a Mile." Thanks Craig Project




I came across an article on wbur.org that described artist projects revolving around users of craigslist. The idea was that here are all these anonymous people connecting with each other on a daily basis to get stuff, or get stuff done, using this web tool. The home page of the website - http://www.thankscraig.net/ - says "WANTED: a human connection in an anonymous megalopolis." I can't think of any better way of putting this myself. I'm fascinated by the projects that the artists came up with to further explore how people have connected with each other using Craigslist or as a tool to connect with people and engage them in a community project.

Check out the website!
