*keep in mind the above image is only a mock up
Following a very in-depth discussion regarding the philosophy or 'ethos' behind SL 'camping' we came to the conclusion that 'camping' was truly about brining people together; for ease of understanding we related more to the owner of the SL location who pays 'campers' in order to bring in more traffic to his/her venue. We see 'camping' as an invisible fabric that ties members of Second Life together, bringing them to central locations.
Our medium to preform this tactic is fabric, although, our piece has performative aspects and sort of needs to be experienced in order to be fully understood. (As with Second Life, it is not really real until you are a part of it.) So for this Sunday-night-blog-posting we decided to make a quick mock up of what our performance piece will look like. Above you can see little paper people being united/bound by way of fabric (it is literally binding them together, as it will bind all of you- our lovely participants- on Tuesday.)

I take it the medium is no longer a website?!
we scratched the website idea after we finalized camping as a work around, the tee-shirts were our first experiment with fabric and print and this performance piece will be our second.
