the sansom window project.
every two months, urban outfitters invites artists to make an installation for a set of windows that face the institute of contemporary art in philadelphia, pa. this weekend we installed our piece and are ready to launch our new project: your message here.
inspired by industrial letter signs, multi colored text, and everyday sayings... we made our own marquee sign out of wood (see more photos here). now the fun part begins, we want to collect your messages to post on the sign. we're not looking for insightful proverbs, but rather ordinary, simple sentiments.
leave your message here (as a comment) and we will be picking our favorites to change the sign daily. if you don't live in philadelphia, you won't miss a thing because we will post a photo of each message at www.yourmessagehere.typepad.com.

This is an awesome idea. I've seen this all over the net, and had no idea you were behind it. Wonderful.
