Evokation

Being high school students, even with such an amount of money, we realize that our powers and resources are limited. We have time and ability constraints. So it took us quite a while to come up with something big enough to make a difference but definitely probable.…

evokation - a little collaborative composition

So, my evokation is quite small...It is not so grand as many, but might be as inspiring or life-changing.

I hope that it might offer many of us a chance to create a little individual something that could be part of a larger composition. So, here goes.

Lugdwig von Beethovan composed one of the most lovely, well-known and enduring compositions from 5 notes. Ode To Joy, from his 9th Symphony, can be played on an instrument as simple and… Continue

I have proposed to him that there should 350.org should provide an online solutions architecture in order to promote and support those practical demonstrations of climate solutions on October 10 and to make sure they continue after that day.

lets evoke flashmobs in gameworlds

Though our urgentevoke network is more than 19000 strong we are spread out thinly in our realworld.To gain further momentum it might be an idea to organize flashmobs in gameworlds like World of Warcraft or Covert Ops. It looks like a waste of energy to invest time in those gameworlds we are trying to turn around but since it is so fundamental in Jane McGonigal's project and the issue is in this game only indirectly adressed through the…

Act 8, Indigenous Knowledge

I've left this mission till almost last, because traditionally I'm not much of a maker. A doer, yes, but my carpentry, pottery, woodsmithing, and metalworking skills are all sub-par. The best thing I can do is build a computer from component parts, or grow plants.

So I took one of our nicer… Continue

Evokation update 3: My heart the wind collaboration

Was going on, I say, I hear you saying, without saying, was going on. Well I will tell you, I will tell you, in hyper post modern speak, my heart you want to know.

We are all of us called upon to employ our local community insights to solve urgent problems through evoke. Great idea evoke, great idea, great idea. I believe this is a great idea because innovation is speculation without concrete…

My Evokation: China really needs this innovation .... (If you care about China, look at here)

I have been focusing my eyes on ARG for nearly one year and get totally addicted to study and play it. When I came back to China last May, I was thinking about to run a serious ARG in my home country by myself. Here is my big idea.…
