It has been said that social media and its "many-to-many" pattern is potentially the provider of the largest increase in expressive capability in human history. This blog and our Planet Earth 2.0 group in Facebook communicates to you in this amazing new arena.
That means, that during this historical moment, we have at our disposition tools that with just a few clicks allow us to make amazing things happen that would have been impossible to do before.
Now, we should be able to bring into the real world things that are needed and wanted...the things that, before, were destined to remain far-fetched dreams that we entrusted to the classical institutions to make them happen so long ago.
Well, how would you like to take that many-to-many pattern out for a spin and see for ourselves what it can do? For real!
Here is the thought
If you read my previous blog, "First Step," you noticed my reference to our "Worldwide Peace Marker Project." WPMP (for short) is a work of Data A art in progress. Its mission may be described simply as "a project poised to demonstrate at a global scale that we, humanity, can work collaboratively as a single species and that we can accomplish goals as difficult as creating a new template for world peace by just taking the first step to do so."
We already have 15 artists representing as many nations as "Artist Ambassadors" of the WPMP. The project involves 198 nations. So, we still need 183 artists to represent those 183 nations that remain on the list in order to complete the project.
Here is the task
Can we, together, embrace a "Facebook Worldwide Artist Search" and find those artists? I think we can. Here is why.
Our planet Earth 2.0 Facebook group is only a few weeks old and it already has 185 members.
This means that just a few degrees from you as a member there is a huge number of people. If each member (on average) has about 50 friends who would like to join the search, and each of those have about 50 friends, we are talking about 2,500 friends all together. Now. If those 2,500 reach 50 friends more that becomes 125,000 Facebook friends who are already there at the start of our search.
Okay, what will motivate you and your friends to join the Facebook Worldwide Artist Search? I can think of many great reasons. There are so many, I will devote the time and space for all of them in our new Planet Earth 2.0 website...not just mine but the reasons that you suggest, too.
What brought us together was the spirit of hope behind the idea of " a new world that future generations can sustain and a planet that can sustain future generations."
The Facebook Worldwide Artist Search is a rally of our new ability to make things happen by just collaborating together in a cause as worthy as a new world. The WPMP, as a step forward is already leading us there.
Keep in mind that we are probably the first ones to use Facebook this way at a global scale.
We can do this with just a few clicks and experience together the power of social media to enable us to create a new world. Think about it for a moment, will you? Your comments and thoughts are truly welcomed.
On my next blog entry, I'll post more details about the Facebook Worldwide Artist Search.
