Find Yourself a Home Town
Find out where you belong.
Go there.
Become the person you always knew you were, but could never be, had you remained in the town you grew up in.
Find out where you belong, and go there.

Publish your diaries, in real time, as a series of status updates, tweets, and blog posts.
See how the teenage you fares in the post-digital age.

Russell Putnam’s essence of contemporary art.
Hire out a standard street advertising billboard, measuring 3m x 1.5m.
The entire board must be the whitest white your printer can provide.
In blackest black, centred both horizontally and vertically, print the word ‘LOOK’, to dimensions of your choosing.
