 Six Degrees of Attachment

Nathaniel Lieb and Sarah Nelson Wright will leave 33 (the average circle of friends) anatomically correct hand-cast plaster hearts in public places around the East Village, hidden at points of interest in the built environment. Some of the color-coded hearts will be given away at headquarters as well.

Each heart has six removable tags with instructions to give it away and a website (www.sixdegreesofattachment.com) to join in our project by recording the time and place of transfer and/or uploading a photo.

We will record reported hearts’ movements on a map on the website, updating paths periodically, to see where the hearts travel, how they intersect and where they end up. People may follow the hearts by color online, with links to photos.

Keep your eyes out for hearts in and around HQ and the East Village all weekend. If you find one, please give it away and record your transfer. Cheers!
