I am happy to see Rob's objections based on the obvious logistical and political obstacles to such a project. But a project like this has so many merits for art and the common man. To have a art installation that moves form small town to town would be unlike anything ever done on this scale or with so much meaning behind it. The whole premise is daunting for sure but The Art World And THe American people, and when i say america people i don't mean the 10 percent that live in cosmopolitan areas or those lucky enough to live near cultured areas but i mean the masses that have never been allowed to experience what we all have taken for granted, and to see that their are some who believe that this sorry state of affairs is only tempaoaory.
The becaon(s) would have a strong central superstructure that includes a powerful spotlight , at least 35% solar powered. The installation would be easily transported and didactic included. We may have to go to this town before hand to describe the premise and impetus behind the work, perhaps having a website that allows for towns to apply for a month long installments. Any applicants that are excepted would go throw a thurogh scouting to find a fitting site for the beacon(s)
Immediate obstacles
Designing the beacon
placement
spotlight issues( permits )
townships educational speeches ( we would have to explain to the people why this important and why the shouldn't shoot at it)
funding
art world reaction( for this project or against it)
media and press ( during this time of distrust, hate and fear this project could be a brightside to public arts in america )
