54: Curiousness Reflection

1. I loved seeing and hearing about other people’s processes, and the class provided plenty of opportunities to rifle through others’ books.
2. If I had to do it all over again, I’d speak in class (maybe…maybe not). The journal and the blog have been helpful in finding my written voice. Still working on the actual voice.
3. Post 1, the lack of constraints made me uneasy. Mid Project 54, the ability to meander from a random starting point of my own choosing got easier.
4. I like my blog, but I love print. Sometime in the near future, I’ll probably turn it into a little typographic book.

53: Blank Slate

Airbnb posts blank billboards (stamped with the logo) around the world and prompts the world to add something, anything if they spot one. Artists and nonartists can contribute. Airbnb monitors the progress of the billboards as they evolve and posts updates online. Group art projects that bring people together and gives the surrounding populations something to look at and maybe discuss.

52: Field Trip

In exchange for maintenance of Airbnb community gardens or other Airbnb community projects, Airbnb welcomes children’s organizations or schools to bring their group of kids out for a fun team building excursion. It’s an ongoing exchange that gets and keeps the kids involved in community service.

51: Pillow Talk

Q: What should we do today?

A: Take over the world.

When hosts reach a certain number of guests while maintaining good reviews, Airbnb sends them a pair of pillowcases that contain a conversational question and an answer.

It’s a small sign of appreciation from Airbnb for a job well done, and it could start a conversation when a guest gets in the bed with someone.
