The Art of Engagement

VTC2.0 has been online for almost three weeks now and we've had some more amazing contributions. Each contribution consists of a public part (name, email address, website, message to the keeper) and a secret part (message for the future and attachment). Here is a selection from the public part of this week's entries:

Sex radical and urban tantrika Barbara Carrellas wrote:
In memory of all those lost to AIDS and in salute to all those who fought back with such passion and such love.

Anglo-Indian artist and curator Diana Ali wrote:
A beautiful project. I hope you find a trusting and passionate keeper after you who will ensure that the capsule is looked after.

Anna Scheer wrote:
Dear Justin, I am taking part because I respect your courage which you will have whilst being sealed. I send you my love and want you to know that you are loved.

German live and visual artist Helen Schoene wrote:
What a weird prospect I thought - putting something away in a capsule that is essentially immaterial. And then coming to the conclusion that everything is essentially it's own capsule. It's own keeper. Humans are too. A slowly decaying type of capsule which will at points let parts of it "body" escape to - maybe - continue in yet another decaying time structure...

So - to me - the beauty of this is capsule is that it's content is actually developing and changing as I type these very letters...

English experimental theatre-maker Mark Butcher wrote:
Dear Keeper, Please keep this capsule safe and speed it on its way. Think of yourself as a pilot navigating the calm years and stormy decades with your cargo, touching-down on strange and unknown shores. Off you go. 2009 to forever...

What will you put in the virtual time capsule? Only 19 days to go...
