Announcing Blogged, A Web 2.0 blogging experiment that you can interact with live this Thursday May 31, 2007!
Blogged is an interactive installation that pumps a small amount of air into a 6 feet in diameter balloon live every time someone visits the Blogged project page of my site (http://billshackelford.com/content/art/blogged). A visit is registered by clicking on a link that leads a visitor to the page from another site such as a blog. As more and more people visit the project page the balloon expands.
I will have a live video stream of the balloon so everyone can watch what happens. Will the internet pop the balloon? We will find out this Thursday! Keep checking this page for more information.

Putting everything back to normal.
When I made this video I was thinking about the process of returning the land to its former natural state after a mining or oil drilling operation had closed down. I wondered just how natural we could really make it.

I am happy to announce that I am collaborating with Ulf Schmidt, Uwe Jakob and Dirk Neugebauer from OgilvyOne worldwide's Frankfurt Germany office on a project similar to Spamtrap. This interactive installation will be used to advertise products and services for a client. More details to come.
Thanks Ulf, Uwe and Dirk!
