THIS WORK CHANGES EVERY SECOND DAY AT 12 NOON

The final installation involved a large adhesive vinyl print, adhered to a sheet of perspex. The image uses data from the District of Leistavia constitution project, created for ISEA in Tallinn. The aim of the constitution project was to create a culture that was a hybrid of Pitcairn, Norfolk and Estonian cultures (Tallinn is the capital of Estonia). That was done by firstly getting involved in a long research period, and making contact with many groups and individuals, a process that eventually led to the creation of an online voting form, so that online voters could make decisions about what was in the Leistavian constitution.

Given that online voters clearly are digitally orientated, and consequently often come from the less poverty stricken areas of the Western European sphere, it was interesting to see from the voting statistics that very few selected democracy for political system and monetarism for economic system. What was voted for overwhelmingly was meritocracy for political system (i.e. the person who serves the community most is leader) and ecologically sustainable values for economic system, even if this meant increased prices. Ecological values and geekism, actually go hand in hand.

Here are the summary statistics related to the above image:

Select economic system.
Actual voting results as percentages: Cash based on gold 5%. Barter 20%. Ecologically sustainable value 61%. Spiritual value 14%.
