“experiment in phenomenology”

While walking in Uptown Saturday night, I spotted this little guy.  Looks like a Banksyknock off.  Oh man, it would be totally awesome if Banksy was in MPLS.  An amazing vacation= visiting Banksy locations .

On my walk to the office this afternoon I spotted this little guy:

Montreal Street Art

While in Montreal, we did  a lot a lot a lot of walking.  While walking we were able to see so much at street level, including really amazing street art.  We were not fortunate enough to see any Banksy, but none the less, some great work.  Guerilla Art is going to aid the revolution.

Despite the threat of rain yesterday, I took my chances and rode bike to work at the U.  After my 9.5 hour shift there, I rode to the Walker to pick up some literature about Design for the other 90% an exhibition about sustainable technologies, which is the topic of one of my projects for LIS7600 [...]
