DJ Spooky and the Burlap Challenge

The other day 1000 Faces was blessed to have the creative genius of Mr. Paul D. Miller AKA DJ Spooky show up at the roaster.   After we forced him to give up his coffee fast, and he partook in our shot of our Espresso Savio the neurons started firing and idea's started bouncing off the walls.    He took particular liking to a piece of art one of our employee's had made using some of our old burlap sacks.   A burlap sack is a bag in which green coffee is delivered to our roaster from the country where the coffee is grown.   We have a lot of them sitting around the roaster.   Look:

Out of this conversation we have come up with something that we are proud to put out there to our beloved community.   We are wanting to put forth: THE BURLAP CHALLENGE.   Basically it goes a little something like this.

We have the burlap.

You have the creative genius. (We have that too, we hope.)

The idea is to challenge you to put together a piece of artwork using the burlap material.  The piece can be functional or non-functional (e.i. a piece to hang on the wall.)   There are many creative examples of how people have put this material to use, but we want to see what your brilliant little minds can come up with.  

If you are interested and have a little extra creative time on your hands, come by the roaster and we will gladly provide you with 5 burlap sacks to work with.   Once we have gotten a critical mass of entries we will collectively decide which to put forward as a joint 1000 Faces/DJ Spooky production.   Maybe we have some genius product we want to start making together or maybe we have a beginning art piece that we want to you to continue and we put on a show at a gallery for you....this is an open system contest. 

Sound cool?   Well go get em.

More details to come.
