This sounds pretty awesome. I wonder what it would be like to get one of these.

perfect for recycling.

sounds neat. I want one.

They should distribute this in Seattle.

i would love to contribute!

I did this once, but the resulting fine was for littering. But seriously, if the article does not mention that what was printed had any meaning or value or insight, then what are we to assume? 'Artist Tim Devlin' must think that he is very clever. Ho hum. If he actually had something important to say, he would post the the magazine's contents on the web like sensible pamphleteers do. You know, to get the vitally important info out there to the wisdom-starved masses. But Nooooooo. Not artsy enough I guess. I yawn with excitement over this.

excellent idea! meant to be innovative

Hell, if he prints everything he receives, I'd like to submit something. Gotta find out where to contact him...

love the concept.

My group has been following a similar concept for the last several years. The differences are we only accept submissions from top scholars, thinkers and world leaders. Each submission is carefully researched, cross checked and the authenticity is verified a dozen times. Each pamphlet is hand illustrated (lettering included) and gold leaf is used for our masthead. Each pamphlet costs nearly $1,000 each to produce and we only make twelve a year. Then we bury them in a hole in a secret location so no one can see them. I can guarantee you they are great though.

I do the same thing with my cigarette butts, except I'm not so self-absorbed that I actually think anyone is going to mistake them for art. I have a more responsible idea. Put your garbage in one of the barrels near those benches and just tell yourself it's an "art receptacle" or something. I bet you'll gain more fans that way.

great idea! lets take an unheard of magazine and put it in random places where no one has heard of it and will have no interest in it. FAIL

Pessimists.

Part of it is the mystery of not knowing how it affected anyone who happened to pick it up. It could have a profound effect on an individual. It's not about recognition. It's about gift-giving.

I think it's a cool idea, but I'm sure a lot of them if not all, get thrown away, blown away by the wind, or picked up by people who could care less. similar to something I'm doing, I make my magazine completely out of gold, etched and inscribed in hieroglyphics, and then I send it to the core of the earth, just to see how it affects people.

What is the core content comprised of? Is it random? No particular theme?

it's lovely thanks

The idea of it is that anyone can receive it: a homeless person, a rich person, and an average individual. There are almost no boundaries as to who the recipient is.
To the of you who say it will get no recognition: Stop having such a massive ego. Not everything is done for attention.

I love this idea of sending golden magazines to the core of the earth. How can I contribute to this magazine? I am deeply affected by the sheer notion of this...liquid magma. My eyes are already tearing up.

I think it is a great idea!

I heard you speak on Spark. I am dying to get my hands on a copy of I left...

"Here, you throw this out."
