Leonardo Bonanni, Suicide Schedule - Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

How can you make information public? It’s not easy. usually it’s called graffiti and painted
over or sometimes even considered a bomb threat. This project might err on the side of
being too subtle: I put up a bus schedule-looking framed piece of paper with my latest
results on untimely deaths at mit. it was sparked by the obvious cover-ups and lies
that make mit appear like it has normal suicide rates. After studying street signage,
I settled on the discrete bus schedule format and built a frame for my spreadsheet.
It seems to have worked! It’s still up, one week later.I guess if you carefully camouflage
something controversial it can become public information without being torn down.
Or maybe nobody wants to be a grave-robber. Next I’m going to make more, and make
them more permanent, so that everyone in the MIT community can be conscious enough
to take it easy.

Wolf Von Kries, Similarities - Berlin, Germany.

In Eastern Germany most of the public employment offices are installed in former GDR tower
blocks.At the entrance of the employment office of Berlin Lichtenberg, an area with one of the
highest unemployment rates of Berlin,a sign is installed which reads: "Similarities with real
persons or actual events are purely coincidential and not intended".This phrase is part of an
information often presented at the end of movies with plots based on true historical events to
emphasize their fictional character and to thereby avoid possible legal implications.
