I want to create the largest-ever participatory art project and highlight the concept of Shadow Philanthropy, where people help others create work without taking credit for it - through this we can really change the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All I want to do is make sure that art is available to all Americans in a participatory way, whether you engage in the art process yourself or you're an audience member.
You don't have to have a great art idea - just get to work and something will happen. So that's pretty much my modus operandi and pretty much my principal position, such as it is.
You can spend your money on art works and sit down and look at them. Or you can use your money to help people.
In New York, I get a tremendous amount of ideas by looking at the paintings and the sculptures, adapting artistic endeavors to crafts. There is a lot of inspiration around us that we can see every day and turn into projects.
I don't want to do things because it will please other people. I'm not doing this to get fame or any attention. I try to be selective about who I get advice from. I would like to contribute to the art world, but, you know, you can't plan these things.
I wish my artwork could persuade millions of people to join a global conversation about sustainability.
My theme for philanthropy is the same approach I used with technology: to find a need and fill it.
I have been asked to collaborate with fashion houses using my artwork, which I will probably do.
I'll get involved in philanthropy.
It's very scary to turn things down, but a project has to really mean something to me. I'm not interested in making a lot of money.
