things organized again

A couple more organizations over on “things organized neatly.”
I love that site, it visually suits that need to make order out of chaos (an ongoing battle in my work/living spaces).
These images have appeared below and feature in pages over on concretewheels.
[The links here go to the specific image on the "things" site. Take a look at the archive pages there to get a good feel for the variety to be found.]

collected boxes

bottle cap sculpture

The two above join this one, mentioned previously.

the chicken at milton way

For Allen Bukoff: The chicken standing at Milton Way (N 47° 14′ 14″, W 122° 20′ 00″)

Inspired by Mr. Bukoff’s recent performance at Fluxfest Chicago, a piece derived from a number of colliding sources starting with Milton’s “They also serve who only stand and wait” and running through John Milton Cage’s 4’33″ (of silence), this is a map of the chicken to be found silently standing along Milton Way in Milton, Washington.

This is a photo of Allen’s performance:

And his original graphic (that inspired a flurry of variations on fluxlist):

As mentioned, the chicken (on the map) resides at Milton Way.

Way (pronounced ˈwā) is derived from the Old English wegan – to move, carry, bear – via the Latin vehere (vehō), meaning to carry, bear or convey (possibly to serve, as from a tray (?) [see photo of Allen above]).

It is a homophone of Weigh (also pronounced ˈwā), also derived from the Old English wegan to move, carry, weigh. So it could as easily be “The chicken at Milton Weigh.”

Note: 433 Milton Way is just at the ‘T’ in Milton Way (in the chicken’s head) on the map above…

[A bit more in a similar vein, but lacking chickens, may be found here)
