Sosostris is a project taking place the day after thanksgiving in Seattle, WA
Sosostris, the wicked pack of cards, is a project taking place in Seattle the day after Thanksgiving. It ’s an combination of Buy Nothing day, the derive of the situationalists, and a random factor introduced by having cards to interact. The cards were inspired by the Gyft project.
Sosostris will build an experiental map of Seattle’s downtown area on a single day. This map will be based on Psychogeography, which is the study of how places affect people’s minds. People will draw cards, and walk a block, enter a store, or interact with people around them on the basis of what it says on the card.
How to Participate
Make a team. The team is handy so that you can all talk about what you’re doing while you’re doing it.
Come to an undisclosed location on the day after Thanksgiving. The location will be disclosed later.
GET PACKED!. We’ll give you a pack of cards. These cards contain a series of instructions that you’re welcome to interpret however you like. You need to bring a pen so that you can mark up the cards on the fly.
GET OUT!. The next instruction is to GET OUT!, which means you should go into the Sosostris zone (zozone) at a location of your choice and start interacting with people and places.
GET BACK!. After you’ve gone out and interacted with people for a while. come back to the undisclosed location and turn in your cards. You can get more cards, you can hang out with us for a while and talk about what you’ve seen.
Sosotris will kick off at noon on the day after Thanksgiving.
