for me

‘for me’ is a website containing an outsourced, crowdsourced, filmed to-do list, where people from anywhere can assign tasks to anyone in the world to carry out, film, and post. these assignments can range from the mundane – i.e. ‘please do my laundry for me’ (the task-performer would ideally be in close proximity to the task-giver to actually do THEIR laundry; alternatively, the task-giver could ask that the person do any batch of laundry, in order to obtain a sense of completion) – to ‘please go to acapulco for me’, to ‘please apologize to my husband for me’, etc. clearly the site will raise all sorts of interesting ethical concerns, as well as shed light on human desires, needs, limitations, and openness.

“Penn State Public Broadcasting is developing the Geospatial Revolution Project, an integrated public media and outreach initiative about the world of digital mapping and how it is changing the way we think, behave, and interact.

The project will feature a web-based serial release of video episodes—each telling an intriguing geospatial story. Overarching themes woven throughout the episodes will tie them together, and the episodes will culminate in a 60-minute documentary. Release of the first episode is planned for mid-September 2010.”
