yo so i won't be be here on monday i'll be back in the motherland aka wisconsin
but if we vote on names my top three are
mobile art projection/project MAP
team urban projection Team UP
broadcast art team BAT
i also think the mission statement is great, but i would like to see the world 'interactive' included maybe somewhere in the values statement?? i dunno duder.
also, i really like the phrases for the mission statement/values:
to expand the definition of public art and
to pioneer (excite/revolutionize?) the future in urban art exploration

I still feel like the phrase "claim urban public space" is a bit misrepresentative and has some negative connotations associated with it. We are interested in engaging with the community after all, not taking over per se. What about something along the lines of "interact with"?

I agree with not wanting to imply that we are wanting to take over, I was hoping that by saying claim...for students &c. would get across the idea that we are not doing the claiming for ourselves but for others as well.
but I will try a version with interact
I think it is a fine line between making it sort of like a manifesto and being assertive and not sounding too despotic.
