High Rise 2006 detail 2 Miniature skyline made of stacks of staples

Peter Root’s Low Rise is made of stacks of staples that are assembled to look like a city. Fun fact:

Like a city, the staples are subject to the elements, on a micro scale. The slightest breath or vibration and the domino effect kicks in.

The Awesome Foundation will give you a $1000 grant for awesome ideas

awesomefoundation The Awesome Foundation will give you a $1000 grant for awesome ideas

The Awesome Foundation exists to fund awesome ideas at $1000 every month. From their website:

Awesomeness is more the product of a creator’s passion than the prospect of audience or profit. creations are novel and non-obvious, evoking surprise and delight. Invariably, something about them perfectly reflects the essence of the medium, moment, or method of creation. Awesomeness challenges and inspires.

Ok, awesome. But how do you get your hands on this grant?

We think lots of things are awesome. Surprise us. Besides your idea tell us: who you are, why you’re awesome, how you plan to follow through on your awesome idea. Don’t make it too long (< ~500 words for you precisionists), we have short attention spans and are sometimes distracted by shiny objects. Be pithy.
