Every public intersection is splintered and awhirl as the servo-mechanisms, each and every one of us, unfurl our strange routines. That which seems solid to one is liquid to another. A centrifuge is a scientific tool, or a niche for microbes, or a sales item, or maybe a feast of recyclables.</font></font> <p><font color="#00858A"><font size=+1>So let us not be so bold and give the spirits names. Let us let the weird world breath. Let us create a zone where the objects of our fascination can balloon into their fullest confusion. Let us go into the street and mark off a zone with traffic cones and strips of tape, where one and all may display the oddities of their choice. The artists can call it sculpture; the city planners can dub it educational; and the neighbors, in their infinite wisdom, can say it's just a lot of weird things.</font></font> <p><font color="#00858A"><font size=+1>_________________</font></font> <p><font color="#127CA0"><font size=+0>-RITES-</font></font> <p><font color="#127CA0"><font size=+0>--1--</font></font> <br><font color="#127CA0"><font size=+0>Secure a site within an existing public event such as a street festival.</font></font> <br><font color="#127CA0"><font size=+0>--2--</font></font> <br><font color="#127CA0"><font size=+0>Mark off modules with traffic cones and tape.</font></font> <br><font color="#127CA0"><font size=+0>--3--</font></font> <br><font color="#127CA0"><font size=+0>Invite people to place objects of fascination into the modules.</font></font> <br><font color="#127CA0"><font size=+0>--4--</font></font> <br><font color="#127CA0"><font size=+0>Proclaim the creations to be none other than "weird things".
