Day 7 of the project, and so far artists have created 12 alternative
designs for the new European currency, the euro. Some interesting visual
statements have been expressed. View them at:
http://www.cryptic.demon.co.uk/euro/notes.html
The Strange Case will remain open for another two weeks, so there is still
time if you would like to design alternative notes, with imagery which
perhaps more accurately reflects either the contemporary situation, or
histories of European peoples. You may wish instead to question the notions
of currency or value exchange.
Once done, send an e-mail, with the image(s) attached.
10 designs will be chosen to be printed into alternative euro notes.
Another will be added to make 11, one for each of the States in the
Euroland. The money will then be transported to Lorient, Brittany in the
Strange Case and put on display at the internet art festival x-99 in March:

The remaining designs will also be on display through a net terminal next
to the case. Some notes will be distributed to people at the festival.
