I can't promise to really understand what all this is about, but I'm sure you've more patience than me. Australian artist (as in fine artist) Barbara Campbell is running a web-based 'durational performance'. For 1001 nights. Really.

It says here: "Each morning Barbara reads journalists' reports covering events in the Middle East. She selects a prompt word or phrase that leaps from the page with generative potential. She renders the prompt in watercolour and posts it in its new pictorial form on the website. Participants are then invited to write a story using that day's prompt in a submission of up to 1001 words. The writing deadline expires three hours before that night's performance."

The 1001 nights starts 21st June at 9:00pm UK time (that's tonight, people!). In case you're wondering, by my reckoning 1001 nights is 2.7 years. This project needs all the support it can get.
