    Thanks for Peepin'

    Everybody,

    Thank you to everyone who helped us reach our goal of $1,200.-!

    Our goal was to have people interact with art that normally wouldn't, and hopefully make them happy in the process. Opening night was phenomenal. Foot traffic was constant. The people were diverse. Everyone seemed happy. People were climbing on others shoulders to look into the top Peep, and crawling on the ground to see what was in the bottom one. Crowds would gather, then disperse, then gather again. There were constant questions, observations and exclamations like: "I think I can see it!" and "It's just a bunch of lines." There's a news article on the event here: http://www.altdaily.com/features/arts/visual-arts/arteverywhere-opening.html, some photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/theofficeofplaylab/sets/72157623998889040/, and a video of some teenage girls interacting with it here: http://vimeo.com/11427307.

    If you're interested in seeing where the money went, we've scanned in every receipt and posted them here: http://playlab.org/peepshow/costs/. The big yellow one is for the steel fabrication of the individual Peeps, in Chesapeake, Virginia.

    If you haven't received a thank you and informational email, please email the office: office@playlab.org.

    There will be more in the future.

    Love and thanks,
    The Office of PlayLab, Inc.
