About Shared Urban Space

Shared Urban Space (SUS) is a global project, which utilizes the Internet, any kind of camera, and participants who live in or near an urban area. Their is no limit to the size of this urban space (large or small). The goal of this project is to create shared experiences among participants, and to compare daily urban life with other people in the world. The project will be exhibited in a gallery setting in June, 2008 at the White Stag Building in Portland, Oregon. Anyone is welcome to participate in this exciting, ongoing project. Below are the 10 primary photo assignments and 5 challenge assignments for the Shared Urban Space project.
