Tasks / Newspaper Cover Art
Pick a day of the week. On that day, decorate the front page of every newspaper of one type (i.e. Chronicle, Examiner, NY Times, Onion, SF Weekly, Guardian etc.) in one dispenser. In your decoration, let readers know that you will be decorating the papers in that dispenser again on the same day next week. Attribute the work to yourself and mark it as piece 1/4. Repeat this process on three more occasions, such that readers of the newspaper seek out your unique copies of the paper over generic copies. You are attempting to use art to ground in time and space the abstracted (dis)location of information - "The news is always the same" and "The news is elsewhere" -expressed in a paper.

Somebody not playing SFØ did this (kinda) in a pretty awesome way.
