Walter Liszewski found Hermes and put him in Norris 1st computer lab!


Clare added a print!


this is the first day that I actually found Hermes. I had a dream last night that this girl told me that she had seen him, and that if I had only gone there I would have found him. Then I checked my box this morning, there was only a letter from my friend Debby, no little slip of paper... So after class I came up here to the Norris Computer Lab, and there he was! lounging on the desk table!.
I think possibly people may have been less inclined to pick him up in here, because there are alot of things that get left in computer labs indefinitely, and rarely do you touch them. Though maybe in Cleveland computer lab...seeing as Emma's drive disappeared from there...

Joanna DeMars found Hermes and moved him to Noyce Basement!



I couldn't find Hermes in time though, so I did a little photoshopping.

Clare Patterson found Hermes!
She put him in Noyce 1st floor physics wing.


seeing as I am not very well acquainted with this building, I am still wondering where exactly that is...though I spent some time looking around. It made me realize that this project will allow me to go into other people's spaces (since some of the tags with destinations actually say "Choose your own adventure"). And will also make me realize that despite my four years here, there are spaces I know little about.

Background/Instructions

Hermes is a movable space. This encompasses many ideas, but the main idea working in Hermes' creation is that there is a venue in which to look at art of some sort, and it can move around.
Thus, Hermes contains an envelope full of various items of aesthetic value, imagery that I use in other work, imagery I have created, or imagery I have found and liked.
Also contained in Hermes is a foil packet full of tags that have on one side my box number, and on the other a location. If you find Hermes, bring him to a location specified on a tag, write on the tag who you are, and drop it in the campus mail.
When I recieve a tag, I will post here about the location, and try to procure a photo of hermes in his location.
Then someone else will find Hermes and the process will continue.
