- sLydE, on 04/19/2008, -0/+89The time-lapse video shows the true genius in this.
- DeskFlyer, on 04/19/2008, -0/+55I'm trying to think how much planning went into placing the holes where they are and at what angle but then my head exploded.
- bigd063, on 04/19/2008, -1/+53complex array of perforations = lots of holes
- pegothejerk, on 04/19/2008, -2/+54I shall find it, and tape it up to say "never gonna give you up"
- thenagman, on 04/19/2008, -0/+19You have no idea what you're talking about, there are 2 different poems that show only on very specific days. The reason you can SEE the dots in the video is because you are getting the EXACT alignment necessary to do so.
- baylat, on 04/19/2008, -1/+15Genius indeed.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -5/+16Manson was a poet.
- BlackRicoh, on 04/19/2008, -0/+11Wow. I'd really love to go see that.
- bearcat8543, on 04/19/2008, -0/+7the time lapse video is almost as long as a full day
- HonoredMule, on 04/19/2008, -3/+10Huh? Words as "true" spirituality? Even if you think religion or spiritualism is nothing more than words, what have you got against prose? Pretty words are nice but wise words are better, and it is truth that sets you free. Content over presentation.

Didn't Hilary take cover from sniper fire under there? - xkingADROCKx, on 04/20/2008, -0/+6Way to kill our buzz, buzz-kill.
- Dylson, on 04/19/2008, -0/+5Do it.
- mystdragon333, on 04/19/2008, -0/+5That would look great on my lawn.
- FrequentFlyer29, on 04/19/2008, -2/+7The original page is down. Here is a couple of more or less decent mirrors that I found:

Did anybody save the time-lapse video? - archivist, on 04/20/2008, -0/+4which i guess is the whole idea of the project. that by the time you have waited to read the whole message, you realise that the message is actually intended for you since you've already "wasted" almost a day and it tells you to not waste another one. : )
i think it's genius. the idea is spot-on with the execution and the objective - Jonno549, on 04/19/2008, -0/+4Absolutely amazing. I love it.
- weaselville, on 04/19/2008, -1/+5Where is this place? I want to go there during a partial solar eclipse... all the little sun circles would be little crescents... HUNDREDS of them!
- BrainInAJar, on 04/20/2008, -2/+6computers can place the holes & angles where they need to be with minimal effort, once the initial programming goes in to it.
- zephyr42, on 04/19/2008, -1/+5the next panel "never gonna let you down"
- ravan46, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3Two thousand years from now...
"I've got it! I finally figured out this ancient artifact. Line it up with the sun just right, and secret messages a printed in the shadow. It must have been a tool to communicate in wartime, or to receive messages from their god, or for human sacrifice, or...." - rac1234, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3It's "loser", you winner, you.
- divrekku, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3Wait... seriously?
Good thing I'm a fan of linen. - mas6700, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3Now that's a really cool idea. Thanks for sharing this!
- amdahlj, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3"Never gonna run around and desert you"
- amdahlj, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3'Never gonna say goodbye"
- likwidtek, on 04/19/2008, -2/+5amazing. I am always blown away with the beautiful things that humanity can create.
- Epik, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3"Never gonna make you cry"
- canyonblue, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3time lapse video: http://people.artcenter.edu/~jsong5/thesis/index02 ...
- HonoredMule, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2I KNEW those artsies were up to no good...burn them all!
Manson is an example of poetry doing nothing to enhance value or worth, not a reflection on poets at large (although I'm sure you have brain enough to realize no one was suggesting that). - diptheria, on 04/19/2008, -3/+5Nhmarine tells us: "Nothing new, it would have just taken one industrious person..."
No ***** *****?! That's true for every ***** discovery/invention. Do you feel better now that you've shown us how smart you are?
What Jiyeon Song has done is innovative and beautiful. Plenty of artists use 'paint' as their medium, does that mean that what Pablo Picasso, Amedo Modigliani, or Wassily Kandinsky have done is "nothing new?" - Henko, on 04/20/2008, -1/+3That was the worst hippie ***** I've ever read.
- Intamin, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2This is a lot better than that London round picture taking thingy...
- defectDS, on 04/19/2008, -0/+2Thanks Ollie.
- HonoredMule, on 04/19/2008, -2/+4Truth isn't something you find emotionally. Feelings only lead us into what we either want to believe or are afraid of...defining a "personal reality." Even if you stumble upon something that is true, you have no basis or justification for accepting it as such.
- kingvik, on 04/19/2008, -0/+2It seems like your shift key is stuck.
- MasterThief117, on 04/19/2008, -1/+2I wonder if this could be turned into a sundial.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -1/+2image mirror if needed http://uploadingit.com/view/542582_x67tz
- b-dizzle, on 04/19/2008, -2/+3What about pretty words that provoke the inner revelation of truth?
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -1/+2I would love to see many more artistic/poetic demonstrations like this in today's world. I can only imagine that I would be truly inspired if I was walking down a sidewalk, and a reflection off of a building made the word "LOVE" on the ground, or something similar. It really wouldn't be too difficult (the example from this story is quite complex!), but the impact on some people would/could be tremendous !
- IsmailOo, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1RIGHT ON BROTHER!
- Intamin, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Custodial Director = Janitor
People love playing up stuff to make it sound better/more complex/cooler; but truth be told, this doesn't need words for one to behold its beauty. - HastyNameChoice, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1what i love most about this is that someone would have to spend a whole day sitting around looking at it before receiving the message that they shouldn't waste their life doing nothing. Irony is great.
- staticx57, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Wait, you're trying to rick roll people despite telling them you have a video of never going to give you up?
- Syric, on 04/19/2008, -3/+4OMG AN EVIL PERSON FALLS INTO A CERTAIN CATEGORY!!11 BURN THE CATEGORY!
That's about as relevant as saying Hitler was an art student, or that Stalin preferred cotton sheets to linen. - phoenix2330, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1super cool
- MaLaCoiD, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1Comment abuse for Coral cache: http://people.artcenter.edu.nyud.net/~jsong5/thesi ...
Video: http://people.artcenter.edu.nyud.net/~jsong5/thesi ... - HastyNameChoice, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2a nice thought, but the light during a solar eclipse would still be normal rays of light, just less intense light. The crescent is only relative to looking upward - circular holes do not cast crescent-shaped shadows.
- nomadxx7, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1So is that art geographically specific? I mean say one took that and put it somewhere completely different (i.e. down the street, another state, another continent) would it still show the same message or not work at all?
