The Random Project 2012 was launched this week. It is organised by With Relish’s Sarah Hyndman and will showcase a growing collection of postcards which are created by all of us. These will celebrate the spirit of London 2012 and enable us to visually document the shared cultural experience as the year unfolds – we will all become the artists-in-residence for a historic year.
The project is open to everybody to take part in; from artists to school children to athletes. Each postcard is designed in response to a randomly assigned word relating to either 2012, London or the Olympics.
To take part please email word@random-project.co.uk with a number between 1 and 100. You will be sent your word along with full instructions.
The postcards will be on view in the Random Project 2012 virtual gallery which will open on February 1st 2012. A physical exhibition will be planned later in the year.
The Random Project first ran in 2006 as part of the London Design Festival. Contributors include Ed Fella, Stefan Sagmeister, Ralph Steadman, Alan Kitching, Alan Rickman and Isabelle aged 7, to name just a few.
