A mobile collaboration studio traveling around the country inspiring people to share their creative passion.
Project: Build a mobile collaboration studio out of a bus with 2 VW vans on top. (Facebook)
Premise: Three childhood friends travel around the country for a year inviting people to share their creative passion with us.
Mission: Inspire, evolve and document the creativity of the people we meet.
Story:
Consciousness lets humans shape the world by bringing things from imagination into reality. We call this process creativity. We're using an awareness of this to evolve culture toward collaboration and cooperation, fostering connection and community.
These are the 7 'cees' we're setting out to explore.
To do this, we're building an original studio-on-wheels with an open and honest environment that invites people to share their passion and perspective with us. Then we find ways they can collaborate with us that combine their passion and talents with ours, staying 2-3 weeks in each city to see our projects through.
Our projects will range from public sculptures to create-a-thons, music concerts, idea pitches, creative game events, unique classes... anything that adds value to everyone involved. A few examples of projects our members have been behind in the past:
Build Madison: a Community Create-a-thon
Jesse Dangles: the Still Moving Swing Project
We'll be living on the bus for the year, and will also have a few extra beds for artists to ride with for a while and add their flavor to the project. Where we go, what we do and who we do it with will depend on the people we come into contact with. We'll continuously adapt the way we operate to what we find, sticking to our 7 cees mission.
Throughout the trip we'll be maintaining a blog with writings, pictures and videos. At the end of the year, the three of us along with a group of up to eight are heading into the woods for two months to compile a book and edit a documentary of our experiences.

Thanks for your support!
Cheers,
Alex, Sam and Mike
