I just moved to Paris and my French is still pretty lousy, so until I get into the groove over here I'll just focus on engaging people I can communicate with: foreign tourists. And Paris has lots of them. In fact, according to several online sources France is the number one tourist destination in the world with Paris itself attracting some 30 million people annually.
I live just south of one prominent landmark, Notre Dame Cathedral. According to their website these are there numbers:
"Approximately 13 million from all over the world every year (an annual average of over 30,000 people per day). On peak days, there are over 50,000 pilgrims and visitors entering the cathedral."
So, my idea is for an installation in the plaza in front of the cathedral. It would be gigantic message, including a quote from Mother Teresa and a link to a website providing food security to thousands of children. It can be read at by two groups of people. First, there are the millions who visit the church in person every year and will see it first hand. Second, are the millions more who hover over Paris in mapping programs like Google Earth.
Now, if we could just figure out how to make it a link...
