um.. yea when i first saw it i thought vandalism, not art. oh well. anyway, i was there and i can tell you that those rubber bands are above your head when going down the stairs. unless you're freakishly tall, i guess.

My apologies, Sam. I didn't read girlfriend's resume. But now that I've been to her website, may I draw attention to her performance piece, "reflection," where our space-cadet walked through the "chaos of downtown Seattle" covered in honey and glass. I wonder, in the grander scheme of things, just how chaotic downtown Seattle is really. I'd like to see her walk through, say, downtown Baghdad covered in honey and glass. Now that's art.

As a Seven Sisters alum, I must point out that girlfriend did not attend one of the Sisters (her resume's listed on her website). My face was hot with shame for a couple of minutes there, Fairechylde.

i can't believe this kind of crap passes as art. who really even cares about this dumb sh*t. this girl needs to get a life or go make some art that actually makes some damn sense. she must be the product of this pseudo-intellectual, elitist institution we call ART SCHOOL. what a crock of hot, smoldering crap.

I wonder how thorough is Jasmine's understand of the space we move through. Something tells me her Seven Sisters degree isn't in physics.

this girl is an idiot. "They will then become aware of the space that they're dancing with to navigate through the city." yeah. i'm not aware of that as i dance through space trying to get to work in the morning. this city has enough obstacles. may she get tangled in her own web of multicolored art-school stupidity.

So when people trip and fall they sue the city and I pay for it with my tax dollars. Great. That explanation of the project is pure unadulterated bullshit. I bet she's a graffiti "artist" too.

Art should be a threat to the mind or the heart - not the skull and all those fragile blood vessels...

Um. That's vandalism.

this looks fun though the artist statement is hard to take. i think, unless you want to reference deleuze or something, its better to just say you made art because you felt like it.

This is about as artistic as if I were to take a shit on those stairs right before rush hour. You'd see a lot of poeple 'interact' with that 'art' too.

Hey just how resistant are those 'webs'?. Cause if they're strong enough, putting them right at the entrance to the subway like in the pic could cause you to trip and fall headfirst bouncing down the freakin' cement stairs, rolling over and over until you hit the bottom and land in a warm luxuriant pool of your own blood & brain matter. I dunno. Maybe that's artistic, huh?.

I dunno, look at the guy getting down those stairs. When was the last time you saw someone walk like that? Unless it was staged. This does not sound like "art". What does the artist mean by "volunteering their help" You mean, after we get our head cracked open like a coconut? Jen, what's your take? You always want us to be careful out there.

so how's this "art"? since when is some inconsiderate hippie bastard stringing rubber bands that people could trip over and seriously hurt themselves "artistic"? i can appreciate the idea behind making people aware of the space they travel through. but putting other people's physical well-being in danger disqualifies it as "art". i hope someone trips, fall, and sues the crap out of this "artist"
