In 2002, before the rise of the blogosphere and Web 2.0 platforms, Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July launched a collaborative online project that invited people all over the world to respond to creative assignments. Participants followed the artists' simple instructions and submitted documentation, or "reports," on their interpretations of each activity to be posted on the website. Examples of assignments include: "Make an audio recording of a choir," "Make a protest sign and protest," and "Take a picture of strangers holding hands." While the project concluded in 2009, the website continues to exist online as an archive.

- About the Artist: Harrell Fletcher has produced socially engaged, collaborative, and interdisciplinary projects since the early 1990s. These have ranged in approach from Corentine's Turtle (2006), made over a period of three years with the residents of a rural community in Brittany, France, to The American War (2005), for which he took his own photos at the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City that he then developed into a book. He received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and his MFA from California College of the Arts. Filmmaker, artist, performer, and writer Miranda July had been known in avant-garde circles for a decade before her feature film Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005) won the Camera d'or at Cannes, among numerous other awards. She has produced a number of web-based projects, including 2002's Learning to Love You More and No One Belongs Here More Than You (2007), both of which exist as books. Her newest film is The Future and latest book is It Chooses You, both 2011. Miranda July grew up in Berkeley, California, and lives in Los Angeles.
