hello there!
i wanted to answer before, but i was flying all over :)(not true)
a series of problems held me back these few days from this wonderful
conversation (and yes, marc, i will call you up immediately :) because
there are incredible news over here, and some of them might also concern
e and a positive affirmative action
in itself.

Hi Catherine,
Good to hear from you, and much thanks for your involvement in the
discussion.
Firstly, I must apologise for the rather long response. I could only
answer some of your questions mainly because the email would of gone for
ages, so hopefully this is enough...

Hi, I don't have a "high-flying" art career. I have a pretty big
carbon footprint, though.
But it seems as though this project is negatively motivated,
minimalist through purification, not simplicity: stop, avoid,
less,"careering."
I feel that we've just gotten to the point where outside the maj

occasionally) ... there is a wealth of art that can be experienced

Hi Richard,
To save confusion here is a copy of the main text from the pledge:
This is a public art experiment in the de-escalation of carbon-fuelled,
high altitude, high-velocity, global art careering. For six months we
choose to cover less physical distance, move more slowly between

my understanding of this pledge was that it was aimed at punters rather than
artists. i wouldn't fly to reykjavik to see the sugarcubes, i'd wait until
they turned up playing a gig in brighton [where i live] or london. the band
should travel, the audience remain at home. same goes for yourself or s
Hello everyone,
I'd like to share some thoughts about the "fly for art" topic.
First of all, I haven't taken the pledge because I've actually got a flight
booked for next month. But I rarely fly for art, so I don't think it will
make much difference anyway.
I think the problem is much bigger tha
In addition to what Simon said, I think you're also oversimplifying
the idea of "revitalising [the] [local scene]". The local scene here
in Reykjavik is very "flat". I work here with a small organization to,
not "revitalize", but rather to "vitalize" this scene as it has never
been anything other t

Skype actually uses a peer-to-peer protocol, so there shouldn't be any

yes turning off lights & appliances, & not overheating buildings, is
just as (maybe more?) important as reducing flights & driving. i don't
have the stats but i understand that even turning off things like
computers & stereos at the wall can make a difference.

Hi Karen,
I know it's a tall order, this is why we have only begun by asking for 6
people to kick it off.
We only set it up about 15-20 minutes ago, we've got till 26th April,
and 2 (including yourself) have already signed up.
So, I am hopeful...
Thanks for signing up by the way :-)

Hello Marc & Ruth,
I have signed up - I know it's mad, but I have a worrying feeling that most
people out there are more likely to choose their careers and carry on with
their flights, over the planet's safety. It is an extremely challenging
request.
We'll see - great idea by the way.
