I have an idea.
And an envelope full of stickers and wrote a letter that said, sorry, I can't tell you what it is because that would spoil it.
But here's some stickers if it's any consolation.
Then the next week they printed that in that paper and said, here's no definitive answers, but now we have a handwriting sample.
Oh, fuck.
And then I realized like, oh, you know, people's curiosity being piqued because the normal flow is government signage and corporate advertising.
It dominates the landscape and it's a one-way conversation.
When you make it a two-way conversation, people start asking questions.
And I was so fascinated by that.
It's normally a one-way conversation.
People from the government or commercial entities, they're putting all the visuals out that we are all subjected to.
But when you put something back out, when it becomes a two-way conversation, the disruption is intriguing to people.
It upsets some people, but it makes a lot of people really happy.
And they ask questions.
And I was like, this is a process that I want to keep pushing forward.
God damn it.
So also seeing that a newspaper that had a circulation of 15,000 prints the sticker, and then I have this correspondence with them, and then they print it again the next week.
At that time, I'd made maybe 1,000 stickers and placed them strategically, and I realized other people can amplify what you're doing and make something that's pretty –
DIY and doesn't have much real power or presence seem more important.
And then people lean in and you start to have opportunities to gain actual power from perceived power.
