As soon as I started archiving screenshots, I could feel myself later watching the process of coding the program I would use to assemble the screenshots of that code. It was a very lifelogging moment — as soon as data about your behavior will be available later, you aren’t just living, you’re performing. Here is my ‘performance:’ ;-)” […] Christian Westbrook (SL: Christian Prior)

I have become a fan of StumbleUpon after finding quite a few really great artists sites. The above is one of my findings. Check out Mark’s site for a ton of other interesting public works he calls “Street Installations”.
As a side note… Interesting compassions can be seen in the Truth campaign’s “Garbage Can” TV spot & PETA’s shock campaign.

Scott Harrison, a former New York club promoter who decided to take a year off to do something more “meaningful” by spending a year helping others in Africa. That experience clearly changed his life and led him to the founding of charity: water. A rapidly expanding non-profit organization that managed to raise almost $1 million with only a couple of folks in a matter of 8 months. charity provides clean water to a lot of people who are in dire need.If you’re still looking for a last minute Mother’s day gift and have no idea what to get, we’d like to suggest water.
