1. Have you seen the other side? Do so then return here.
2. Carry this wave in your pocket and take it out to show your friends. Or stop a stranger in the street and show it to him/her/them. He/she/they may want to participate in the project, or decline.
3. Explain that this is a project about making waves.
4. He/she/they may have questions; you may want to answer them, or not.
5. Photograph him/her/it/them with the wave. Use a cell phone, film camera, digital camera, video or your own photographic memory.
6. Enjoy these shared moments, you and a friend/stranger on the street, holding a displaced wave captured in your hands, holding it carefully, preciously, playfully and sometimes upside-down.
7. Collect these images and moments of wavemaking.
8. Take the wave with you. Keep it secret in your pocket/ purse/wallet, this small piece of paper that is also a wave. Share it and make a sea of connections using this folded little image of time and space.
As the wave decays make another copy, add your own text. Make as many waves as you want and distribute them freely.
This wave is a photocopied overlay of a silkscreen of a scan of a folded photocopy of a video image of a wave that I found at Orient Point in Revere by Logan Airport on the Boston Harbor in the early summer of 1999.
