The Milan Project
 


What would you title this photo?

The photos on this page are from my 2006 trip to New York, but in December I will be photographing scenes from my trip to Milan for my latest Audience Generated Content Project: Patron Creations from Milan.


PATRON: noun...

  1. One that supports, protects, or
    champions someone or something,
    such as an institution, event, or
    cause; a sponsor or benefactor:
    a patron of the arts.

Here's how to participate...

Would you like to be part of my newest Audience Generated Content photography project?

"Patrono creazioni
da Milano"

(Patron Creations from Milan)

This project is a variation of last year's "Name that Painting" project at Jennifer Kincaid Gallery in Eureka. Many people on the mailing list for this project were at that event. That was fun, wasn't it? Let's do it again! Many people have joined my list since Eureka, and I invite you to play along in whatever kind of crazy, elegant or philosophical way you want.


Remember, Christmas is right around the corner and this would make an amazing gift, whether you choose a title especially for someone else, or pay for them to participate and choose their own title!

Choose a word or phrase...

This will become the title of the photograph I take for you in Milan when I go there Dec. 12-19 to show my work at GA2008, The International Conference for Generative Art..

Decide the amount of your contribution...

Choose how much you want to pay to participate in the project. This can be:
- how much you feel like sending to support my work or my trip costs,
- what you think the artwork should cost,
- what you think my costs for time and materials are,
- what you can afford to pay, or
- some other calculation of your own.


 

 

 


Email me the name...

Click here to email me the title you decided on...
Be sure to tell me how much you want to contribute and how you decided on the amount. You can also email me here if you have any questions.

If this will be a Christmas gift, I will send your gift recipient a card letting them know a little about the project and asking them to choose their name if you want them to choose their own.

Look for your artwork to arrive....

When I return, I will select the best photos from the trip and assign the names to them using some random or rational process. The first two weeks in January, I will send all patrons their photos by electronic file and in hard copy.

 

 

 

 

 



Come back and view the whole project...

I will be posting all the works on my website so everyone who participated can see everyone's photos and titles.

A note to my all of my patrons, past, present and future:

I will be using all funds from this project to offset the cost of my trip to GA2008, the 11th Generative Art International Conference in December.

This is a very exciting opportunity for me, as it is my first international show – an academic conference at the Milan Polytechnic University which will be attended by over 70 scientists, designers, architects and computer engineers from around the world. It promises to open a lot of doors for me.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me by coming to my events, buying my artwork, and always being so positive.
Read the press release about my trip.
It's really VERY exciting.

Thanks so much for all your support. We have a lot of exciting developments in the works and I'm glad you're along for the ride... it's so fun with you here!

~Cheers, Jennifer
