Day 6 - Friday 19 September

Lots to report today. So much that I've only time now for a quick snap shot.

Day started with a photo shot by Alex of Sputnik Films at Hindmarsh Square.

Then a short bike ride past a number of Adelaide Park(ing) day entrants setting up. A great sight.

From 12 to 2 was the meet the artist session at Topham Mall. Thanks to all who stopped for a chat. Many highlights, including:

* The two people who noticed that the LEDs on the road signs are shaped like little houses. Ive been staring at theses signs for weeks and never noticed. They also mentioned that an art piece celebrating the work day life routine was a bit depressing. I guess that's why I'm also interested in rituals and revelations.

* Whist I was talking with them a security guy arrived - who didn't want to be names or photographed. He mentioned that he was from the big building next door and had received a complaint from one of the high profile tenants. He asked that I refrained from videoing the building. In the same breath he acknowledged that it was a public place. Any coincidence that the Immigration Department is in the building? And the most I ever film of the building is a blank concrete wall!

* Two of my work colleagues arrived and we watched my 8 min opus A Day in a Life (see video below)

* Josie, Adelaide Park(ing) Day coordinator arrived. She has also presented public art and we discussed how wonderful it was to observe passers by's expressions as they experience the works.

* Bridie, a passer by, noted that the signs reminder her of the nintendo days. And these are "advanced technology" road signs!

* Then the real highlight of the day - Adam, who heralded his arrival with the statement "this is solar shit". How dare I use solar power for something as shit as this. We had a long and winding discussion on many matters. In the end he said "you've made my day". And he made mine.

* Kate, a journalist student doing an assignment on Adelaide Park(ing) Day. We discussed parking, traffic and art and she took some great photos.

* The Park(ing) Day judges arrived - a flock of very well dressed people around town. Wonderful that they really got into Daily. Especially when we saw the sign from a distance

* Louise from ANAT passed by and we discussed the similarities of this project to a former project at the Rundle Lantern

* A guy on his way to jury duty took some photos. "Really awesome". Thanks!

* A woman took some photos and said she could see a person in a mobility scooter in the "feet' video. Wow. I've never seen that. Her friend had also seen the sign at Hindmarsh Square.

* And a few more work colleges popped by.

Thanks again everyone for a great day.
