Check out Candy. Watch her Urban Plan. Check out her stickers. She makes you want to be Hipper. Read her at http://candychang.com/
We watched her in action.
She had neat-o ways to involve the community through art, and I think swimming through her mind would be like an acid-filled trip through Disneyland where roller coasters are streets and signs are balloons in the air.
She was (is) everywhere. From vacant storefronts all around New Orleans randomly asking walker-by’s to fill in the blanks for what buildings could be to inflatable moons in Helinski.
You’ve gotta give her a head nod for trying to make cities more comfortable, but maybe also a shrug. I mean. O. K. This all looks cool, but it’s so portable that its hard to see a sustained connection to place that goes beyond musing. Maybe it’s just me, but I want more types of Candy.
I want Candy that is locally grown and made at home. Candy that doesn’t disappear at a moment’s notice. Something lasting. Candy that puts flavoring over marketing. And definitely no artificial additives.
It’s about the Community, not Candy. Locally and cooperatively owned Candy store, anyone? It’ll be organic, too, of course 😉
