The Flat Smiley Project is collaborative photography project and community building activity for Burning Man 2009. The project invites participants to send photos and videos of Flat Smiley's adventures in Black Rock City and regional burner events. It's like a postcard from the playa for many burners who are not able to attend the event this year due to the nation's prevailing economic downturn.
Invitation To Participate
To participate in the Flat Smiley project each participant is asked to download the Flat Smiley template PDF file and then color and decorate it in an effort personalize it with their own creative flair. Then, very much like the "traveling gnome" prank in the movie Amelie, participants will take Flat Smiley to the playa and photograph and/or videotape him at various camps, art installations and famous city landmarks. Finally, participants will upload the files to the Flat Smiley Flickr pool or YouTube playlist. You can even upload photos to Twitter!
