Hey Guys!

For my current art project, I'm trying to collect as many opinions as possible on the topic of enlightenment. To help me do this, I've developed a quick survey. If you have some spare time up your sleeve, it would be fantastic if you could have a go at it!

Here is the link to it:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GQVC8MB

This is virus free and is just towards a personal project of mine. The results will be written in calligraphy over the body of the work.

On the topic of enlightenment...I just saw a movie called Willy Wonka.
There was a scene where a boy and his grandfather drank a fizzy lifting drink and became enlightened.
They had fun floating up higher and higher but then became worried because they were going to be killed by the ceiling fan.
In the end they burped there way out of it.
But it was touch and go there for a while.

Tango - My plan is to cover symbolic objects (Pram, etc) in paint colour cards arranged in a colour order, and the answers will correspond to each object in a way. (Origins of life = Pram) I'm also writing the survey answers on every fifth or so paint colour card. It's pretty complex... to give you a better idea, I'll post a picture of the first one I did without any writing on it yet.



When I'm finished, I might post some pictures of the finished project so you can see what it went towards Very Happy

Nice idea, please do post pics when you finish it, I'd like to see.

Nice dog, too.

I visited your survey. Wasn't expecting such, um ... large questions and kinda backed away and shuffled off sheepish. Might have another stab at it though, seeing as it's for posterity and all. Or in the case of the chair, posterior. Smile

Hi SJPiper, hope my response to your survey helps out. And I've got to admit, you've given me a great idea for my own studies. Now if I could just get a brief for a project where I could get away with it...

Thanks Velvet!
Yeah, I know, they're pretty deep and meaningful questions. I'm trying to cut to the core of what everyone really believes about the world. But it doesn't have to be a long answer - one sentence is fine. And if you can't think of anything for a particular question, just leave it out. Very Happy
Thanks again.
Hey Eug! Glad I could help out, and thanks Very Happy
