It may not look it but the map has changed drastically. Seven new Keepers in the past two weeks. Check it out and play with it. It is a pretty cool little tool.
The Sporozoan Swarm now resides in three countries and eight states. It wants to double that in the next month. Become a Keeper of The Sporozoan Swarm and add to its proliferation.
I believe art should be in everyone’s home and to do that it needs to be affordable. This is my reasoning for making The Sporozoan Swarm. The Sporozoan Swarm is a piece of grand scale with a projected population of 50,000. It is one piece that can be broken down into smaller clusters and find a place on thousands of walls around the world. An art lover can, for a very reasonable price have a commanding art object in their home that is part of a larger whole. Thanks to the use of negative space that naturally occurs in hanging a Sporozoan Swarm it only takes 20 or so pieces to adorn a poster size space on a wall and best of all you can break it up into many smaller Sporozoan Swarms around the house and because Swarms are modular it is easy to increase the size of your piece of The Swarm. One can start out with a Tiny or Minuscule Swarm and build on it as you have space and or finances. The Swarm is adaptable and ever changing because The Swarm is made up of many pieces of all different sizes most of which are printed or drawn on both sides The Keeper can rearrange or turn their pieces over to create a new piece of art over and over again. The Swarm can also be hung through corners and around other transitions on The Keepers wall.
Become a Keeper today and find yourself being part of a grand piece of art.
The Sporozoan Swarm is not a lot of little pieces going out into the world to individuals. It is one large piece of art work, with a population slated to be around 50,000 when completed, that is broken up into clusters so that it can be Kept by many different hands. All these Keepers in turn create a fabric, around the world, of strangers connected by The Swarm. Once the entire population of The Swarm has been distributed The Map will pin point all locations of The Swarm and be a testament to arts ability to cross all barriers and bring people together on common ground.
Art can change the world.
The Sporozoan Swarm has reached three countries! I am excited about its progression and look forward to seeing those dots spanning the globe.
This week I am installing pieces of The Swarm at two locales in West Seattle and as soon as they are up I will have pics to show. Also was asked by my new gallery Twilight Artist Collective to be in a group show in July and solo show in October. Also got some exciting news today about a couple blog features in the very near future. Will keep you up to date as things progress.
Change your world support a local artist in any way you see fit.
The Swarm has flown the coop. As of yesterday The Swarm is no longer contained within the USA as one piece of it made its way to Argentina.
Lets see if we can be in another country for the next display of the map.
The dining room table is easily transformed into a packing station for The Swarm. I thought the map would change a lot after sending these five out but… Map.
I am going to look at a press today in the hopes of being able to print soon. It will feel good to get back on a press and smell the scent of ink.
Make art.
The Sporozoan Swarm is not simply bunches of pieces going out to individuals. It is one large piece being Kept by assorted individuals. The map above shows locations of The Swarm. I will update this map once a week until the whole Swarm has proliferated. With my ultimate goal being a population of 50,000 for The Swarm I suspect to be updating the map for quite some time. To be a part of The Swarm check my Etsy shop and watch for Swarm give a way’s here.
Lets go readers spread the word of The Swarm. Tell a friend to check out printtroll.
