Washington DC
September 8th to October 25th
The Luce Center at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) wants to play with you. They have launched an alternate reality game called Ghosts of a Chance and are calling on the general public to participate.
They want you to fall in love with the museum and its collections, a place that holds the best they have to offer, the excessive desires of our civilization. From September 8th to October 25th, the objects you create will be displayed for all to see. In effect, you will be secularly canonized. So join in, at the Museum, at the live events, online or in person.
