All GISH events, organized by year.
Item 157 – Repurposed Phone Booth
IMAGE. Everyone has cell phones, so phone booths sit unused for many days. Reimagine and repurpose a phone booth. Show a passer-by using it in a new way. – Inspired by Jennifer Gutierrez
Item 153 – Tattoo Fairytale
https://youtu.be/AedgFBSMTME
VIDEO. (Slide-show). Using only pictures of actual tattoos, relay a memorable moment in history or a fairy tale.
Item 150 – TaxidermConnect
IMAGE. Dating can be so challenging! Thank god you used the TaxidermConnect App. So now let’s see you, seated for a romantic dinner at a high-end restaurant with a taxidermied animal as your date. Bonus points if it’s Michelin rated.
Item 147 – Origami Centerpiece
IMAGE. A stunning origami floral centerpiece. If you can afford it, mail it to 1920 Hillhurst Ave. Ste. 170, Los Angeles, CA 90027. It may be used for something fun and public in the future (but this is purely voluntary).
Item 139 – Lawn Vacuuming
IMAGE. Do your best 1950’s June Cleaver impression and vacuum the lawn. – Shawna O’Neal
Item 138 – Cinema Advert
VIDEO. (Video may be up to 20 seconds.) Doesn’t it make you mad when you pay $10-$15 for a ticket to a movie and then they make you sit through commercials before the feature starts? It makes me mad. Let’s de-commercialize the pre-screening experience: have your local movie theater project 10 seconds of footage of you brushing your teeth or carrying out some other mundane daily task on the screen before the start of a feature. We must see a few seconds of the regularly scheduled programing before and after your video. We must also see clearly that we are in a crowded movie theater with at least 50 patrons.
Item 135 – 19th Century Smart Phone
IMAGE. When Alexander made the first phone call on 10 March, 1876 he could not have foreseen the birth of the ‘smart phone’ generation… Or could he? Using late 19th century technology and parts, build the smart phone Alexander Graham Bell would have built if only he’d had the time. – Monica Duff
Item 133 – Welsh Word
VIDEO. This is a real Welsh word: “Llanfaurpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.” Find a Welsh person and have them say in Welsh “I am Welsh and I hate that I have to do this,” and then they must say the lengthy word 3 times, without stuttering and without reading it.
Item 126 – Lady and the Tramp
IMAGE. The setting is a candle-lit romantic dinner for two. Let’s see the “spaghetti” scene from “Lady and the Tramp.” Both of you must be dressed for the hot date. Super bonus points if it’s in an actual nice restaurant.
