History of guerilla knitting talk available to download

Thanks to Regine over at we-make-money-not-art, there is a link to download Rose White's talk on guerilla knitting recently given at the recent Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin.

A Tree Undone, Burning Man 2007

Much of the work highlighted in Regine's summary of the talk has already been blogged on this site, but last year's Burning Man had a nice community public art piece I had not heard of.

A Tree Undone, the artist brought a tree to Burning Man, wrote a pattern explaining how leaves should be knitted, and together with the citizens of Black Rock City knitted thousands of leaves. They were not bound off so each leaf could unravel in the wind.

It reminds me of The Cloutie Tree I saw at Kagyu Samye Ling. It is both a Scottish and Tibetan custom to make a wish and then tie a coloured ribbon to the tree. As the cloth fades the wish is carried off by the elements and hopefully one day comes true.
