Cross border collab project

Myself and my partner joe decided to do something related to the occupy movements in SF and Vancouver and connect them in a way that was accessible. We decided to show these two projects by displaying the signage of the movements and putting them up in the areas where the occupations were. We managed ourselves mostly through skype, but the idea was a little rushed, due to the time constraints. There was clearly a disagreement in goals, as our collaborators wanted to make them more "arty" and take away the message. We of course thought this was a bit silly, and wanted to display the political nature of this protest. It was interesting to work remotely, but it was frustrating to work out details and i would have spent more time on that for sure. I think what would have helped is a mash-up of the groups based on interest rather than randomness. Overall i got a good project out of it and it wasn't too daunting.
