NO, I am definitely not planning on starting new threads all the time for my new Burning Man project: the Pool of Plenty and the Exchanghibition Bank.
BUT I do realize I need a lot of text to explain the project, because of its many layers and aspects, so I decided to upload a video of a talk I gave about the project this evening at Pecha Kucha this evening here in Amsterdam.
For those that don't want to read a thousand words, but ARE interested to hear what it's all about. 6 minutes and 40 seconds...........
Here it is:

One Video instead of a thousand words !
And since this post is the right one, here are the links for more information about the project(s):
The bank site:

The blog as information- and discussionplatform about money and art
http://blog.artasmoney.com/
Facebook page. Check it, click 'like' and you'll stay updated!

And. last but not least, the fundraising page, because this bank will need money and the big question of cours is if it will get a bailout from the government or will need yours!

(this first fundraising effort runs till the 11th of February......)

To really make this a NO-WORDS-BUT-IMAGES-POST:
I'll post the other video we shot in my studio as well. This one goes much less into detail about the whole project, but is very short: only 1.5 minutes, which probably means this is the one-video-instead-of-two-hundred-words-version :-)

I also am starting to realize that there might be a lot of people on this board who have no idea that I have built some big interactive Playa art projects before from overseas, and thus might think that this is a nice idea, but I will never be able to make it happen. So here's a video of my Dreamyourtopia project from 2008.

And of course that also gives me an excuse to tell you that my first try-out fundraising page is about to end and it would be cool if I could manage to get a little bit more money out of it, to start with all the preparations
