01001 Presentation

I enjoyed the presentation given last Thursday night from the artists 01001. Because of prior commitments, I could only stay for the first half of the presentation, but I was really interested in the "United We Stand" project. It is crazy to think that such a simple thing as putting up posters can create such a big statement. The posters looked very realistic, and so did the site. I wonder how many people went to the site to check out the movie...

I love that their art is so unique, and it uses many different types of media. It does not have to be the most technically advanced media, just so long as it relays a powerful message. Their creativity and craziness makes me wonder how I could add that aspect to my project. I like the idea of using something simple as a promotion, like putting a poster up that has a hint, but does not explain everything. That way the viewer is curious and may want to look into it more to find out what it's all about. The poster and website that 01001 did was just enough to get their point across. I would be interested to learn about more of their projects and the impact that they have had!
