This video will only make sense in the context of a sculpture I was commissioned to do. My intent is that the sculpture will be defined by how others interact with it. There is no objective other than to create a piece of art that others can interact with and therefore determine its meaning and impact.

Here's what you do: Go to my website (www.matthewjclark.com) and click the arrows on the right side of the screen to advance to the sculpture “Took $1.37 from the Offering Plate”. If interested in contributing, click “Contact” on the webpage and email us letting us know that you want to place your "short" vimeo video into the sculpture, providing your name, email address, state/country of residence, and a link to your video. We will need to have security rights to embed it in the webpage. We will change the video every day or so, and will keep a log for others to view that lists contributors and the videos posted. We will not disclose your email or last name on the log created. Your request to contribute is your affirmation that we have the right to embed the video and that we won’t be in trouble with you or any other 3rd party for displaying it on our site within the context of the sculpture. We will try to exercise as little editorial control over this as possible, but won't place vimeo videos on the site that we deem will cause liability/other concerns.

If you wish, you will help define what this sculpture says. I’m interested to see what people come up with. Thanks.
