Seiko's Hand-Off To Her Friend Poses An Interesting Question.

Jan 13, 2018

I didn’t create this graphic nor do I often post inspirational quotes but this has been with me for years. Where it may be applicable for life I use it as a method for making art. When I get interested in something I keep pushing through it until I bust through. When you “bust through”, and you’re an artist, what comes out the other end is art. I was interested in interactivity, so I made interactive art. I enjoyed video games, so I became a video landscape photographer. I’m interested in social networks, so I made my own, GLOBALL. I love film and now I’m writing screenplays and soon to direct. My recreations became my occupation. On the other hand, if you’re suspicious of something then you might be the most qualified person to make that thing. You’re take will be unique and probably speak to many people. I.e. I was curious about social networks/media but unhappy with with parts of Facebook, so I made GLOBALL. It’s a social network that is very “Oliver”. Try it out. Break on through to the other side.

GLOBALL Rover OUTTAKES 2018! Every film, album, or book has deleted scenes, tracks or passages. GLOBALL Rover in 2018 was no exception. Please enjoy a cross section of the Rover's journey through restaurants and theaters, to the Ready Player One premiere, past Godzilla and even landing near a Cheech and Chong lamp - all Tokyo style. Also, please feel free to follow the journey on Twitter @wheresgloball and on your laptop at www.wheresgloball.com. Looking forward to new places and adventures in 2019! #wheresgloball #wanderlust #coddiwomple #shareadventure #diy #adventurers #travelerslife #godzilla #readyplayerone #stevenspielberg #shinjuku #tokyo #cheechandchong #share #happynewyears

The GLOBALL Rover has been passed!! Robin, the latest GLOBALL recipient, took it for a walk to the Shinjuku district of Tokyo! Look for more soon! www.wheresgloball.com

A Nepalese gentleman named Robin currently has the GLOBALL Rover! He’s down for the count with busted ribs. Tough times happen and never at the right time. Let’s give him our best wishes. Speedy recovery like an arriving Shinkansen Robin! #getwellsoon #wanderluster #shareadventure

It’s been a little tough going getting people motivated to pass the GLOBALL Rover, or show their face, or find people to pass it to. At this point in the journey, it’s all about learning but it’s still a little rocky. Not giving up though! Onward and upward. #shareadventure

From an email I sent the former holder of the GLOBALL Rover, Yue: "GLOBALL is about connecting people throughout the world with one another. One day, someone, like you, will get the GLOBALL. They will be shy, or maybe a horder like you said, and maybe they won't want their picture taken either. Then they will see your picture and know that someone in the world is like them. But they might be African, or a man, or very old, or gay. They may be very different from you but they will find a connection with someone special...YOU! :) This will give them peace. Thank you for helping make peace in the world Yue." The next day, after having the GLOBALL Rover for several months, Yue spontaneously handed it off to her friend Saory. I think we can make the world beautiful if we work together. #shareadventure #wheresgloball #traveller_stories #sharing #friendshipgoals #diy #socialnetwork #conceptualart #immersiveart #globetrotter #wanderlust #coddiewomple
