Subject: Go Quilt!
The waiting is over.
The NOON QUILT is now online at
http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/quilt/index.html
This is a unique opportunity to connect internet users wherever they
are. Every patch of the Noon Quilt represents a person somewhere in
the world - click on one to find out what they see from their window
at noon. We want to hear from people everywhere, and there isn't much
time. The Quilt will only be open for contributions from 28 September
to 23 October 1998 after which it will remain on permanent exhibition
at the trAce website.
Look out of your window at noon wherever you are in the world and
write what you see in 100 words. Send it to us with details of who and
where you are and we will put your writing on the World Wide Web with
a link to information about you and where you live, gradually building
up a patchwork of noon-time impressions from across the globe.
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
Submissions are made via a form on the website at
http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/quilt/index.html. Anyone may contribute, but
we cannot guarantee that all items will be selected for inclusion.
ONLINE DISCUSSION
There will be an online discussion about the building of the Noon
Quilt with Teri Hoskin on Monday 26 October 1998 at 3pm GMT.
