April 15, 2008

Thank you for the nearly 40 submissions emailed to me in the span of two weeks, from those connected and related to me, who took the time to reply to the request below. Wait a little longer so you see what I'm up to. This will grow.

 

For the first round of physical massive public presentation:
OCAD's Graduation Exhibition
DUE: APRIL 12, 2008

INSRUCTIONS

Basically ~100 words (or even one sentence) - by you.

What would you say to the world through words to stand as your individuality?
Whether it’s a story, a lesson learnt, your struggles, your visions, your beliefs;
whether it’s a poem, a rhyme or simply a sentence that you live by...

Anything — you in  words.

Don’t feel too pressured, it’s supposed to be quick, fun and expressive.

Email me, Ghazaleh at getezal [at] gmail.com with the following

ONE
Name: (for all in the web to see)
Title: (whatever label you want exposed)

Location: (city, province/state, country)
Link: (your own site or one that you want linked after what you write. this is optional)

This is you in words.Click for one of my poems

A little help if you need some ideas on what to write:
-focus on one question: write about a specific experience
-focus on a few questions and answer them
-answer all of them
-write a poem about yourself
-type up a thought process you went through
-write about your past: where you were born...your home
-a recap of your life to this point
-vision for the future
-worries for humanity
-knowledge through your field of study
-problem-solving experience
-abstract, metaphoric
-community you belong to and how it is you
-your love: what keeps you going
-what culture means to you
-what life means to you
-what you know about nature
-systems and networks
-community, community, community
-the impact of success
-your search for happiness
-quote another person if you can't say it as good as them

As you can see, these are all over the place, as we are all over the place in our lives. Diversity is the plan I have for this project. Keep it between 100-150 words. It's a short note. If you want to submit more than one, by all means do.

Wait until the end of April to see all the results online and I encourage you to attend OCAD's Graduation Exhibition on May 9 to 11 for the final presentation of internetoflife.

It's been a fun journey up to this point. I hand it over to you to measure its impact for the world.
