On "If It Was My Home": Artist, and inspiration

BP oil spill if it were where you live

If it Was My Home is a simple but effective concept. Enter your location, and the oil spill is overlayed on top. It's gotten to the point where the area the spill covers is greater than the area of some states. Scared? You should be.

The above work is work of the Artist, using existing tools to tell a story that inspires thinking and action.

I'm beginning to think of 'art' as that which is irreplaceable

I like this definition of poetry as "organized use of language that cannot be replaced by paraphrase."

Seth has been talking a lot lately on art, in Linchpin and otherwise, as the act of creating something that connects with and changes someone.

I like that model, and I'm beginning to incorporating the idea of irreplaceability.

As in: you don't have to worry about anyone stealing your best ideas; if they are truly that good, they are the result of an irreplicable amount of work - cognitive or otherwise.
