CUBIC SHEEP What was the motivation behind the project? The P3 (cubic sheep) project wants to develop, in a funny way, a criticism to the human being who follows the flock without any awareness of his own actions. The P3 project is based on two main aspects: a critical/expositive one and a recreational/interactive one. The first aspect is characterized by the small dimensions and the almost nonexistent weight of the works which allow to make art installations in every context. Instead the second one aspires to the recreational/interactive aspect of the work’s user who becomes then the work’s author. The files of the graphics, in fact, can be downloaded from these links: www.flickr.com/photos/ samburubrica and www.myspace.com/sambusambu. Besides the various characters, you can also download the P3 graphic completely white and you can customize it. After you have created it you can send a photo of the sheep at simoneambu@ gmail.com. The photos will be then uploaded on these websites: www. f l i c k r. c o m / p h o t o s / samburubrica and w w w. m y s p a c e . c o m / sambusambu. The conception of the aspects (recreational, creative and interactive) is inspired by: Kinder chocolate eggs, for the realization of characters which can be built, with a common theme; LEGO Constructions for the encouragement to creativity, and obviously by Paper Toys, 3D toys made with paper which can be built. How are people responding to the project? Until now nobody has responded yet. Since I published it on line just few time ago, it is necessary to wait a bit before someone responds. I have the intention of getting in touch with some shops which sell toys in order to send them the printings so that they can give them to their customers completely free. Do you have any idea how many sheep are out there? As for the already ready ones, until now I think there are about 60 sheep out...or perhaps even more…
