Following an announcement back in March, French street artist and TED winner JR continues the development of his “Inside Out” project. With thousands of people having already participated, JR hopes to make “Inside Out” the world’s largest participatory art project. Offered below is the first episode documenting the process of “Inside Out.” As well as their mission statement for the those who are unfamiliar with it.
INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.
