And while they are at it, they decided to add pollution to the mix.
Pollution is making the planet slowly change, and not in a good way, so this whole project is trying to keep things as they are right now. Like a giant DVD player with the pause button pressed, it’s holding this moment forever
Peace, NRE.

Peace, NRE.
A hermetically sealed electro-polished stainless steel pipe-structure, will ensure absolutely no erosion, or rust, in the oxygen void depths. A nano-engineered outer surface will prevent any organic material or life to reciprocate in any way with the sculpture too, and ensure that it will reflect brightly back, when lit upon with a light source. This will also ensure that it can be discovered again 10,000 years into the future.
HORNSLETH VILLAGE PROJECT UGANDA
We want to help you, but we want to own you!
* The Hornsleth Village is an art project.
* 100 people from the small village Buteyongera in Uganda changes thier name to 'Hornsleth'
* Each person will go through the official legal name change process
* Each person will have an ID card issued to show their new 'Hornsleth' name
* Each person will be photographed holding their new Hornsleth ID * The portraits will be defined as an original art work
* The photo works will be 120 x 100 cm and will be presented in various art shows
* A professional documentary film crew is filming the process for Danish TV DR2
* A big book will be produced describing the project and showing all the photographs
* International art critics and philosophers will be invited to contribute
* The project is a business deal between Hornsleth and the appointed village opinon leaders
* The participators will recieve farm animals for their involvement according to agreement
* A locally well known animal re-distribution system will be implemented
* 5.000 people will in five years have recieved an animal from this project if it runs as planned * Don't worry, this is art
Here are some of the testimonies from the people who took the animals. I choose to include thier names because you would like to check them out in the book.
1. An old woman called Nalongo Rodah got a pig from the project,at first before she got a pig,she was very sick of hernia and she had no money for the operation.but after getting the pig, it gave birth to 6 piglets, she returned 3 to the project. When her remeaning 3 made 6 months, she sold them off and when for the operation which was sucessfull. Now very happy woman and praises the project so much for having saved her life.
2. Gidunno Franco, also the chairman of the village, is very proud of the project. He got a pig, gave birth to 7 piglets, returned some to the project, and now he has opened up his only farm.
3. Mariam Namagero an old woman crippled says that she got a pig and sold it after giving birth, kept the piglets and she used the money to contruct a pit latrine which she lacked, so she is so much thankful for the project.

It seems like a pretty cool project. Great picture, O.P.!edit on 3-8-2013 by darkbake because: (no reason given)
