Real Characters

August 25th, 2007 by D feather

200 characters pg

* BOOKS HAVE ALL BEEN WON *

This is a page from the new book by Melbourne-based designer/curator/agent-person Pip Carroll of Ambiguous Horse. For over two years she’s been collecting text messages and has collated 200 of them into this publication. It’s a fascinating insight into modern communication and human nature. We’ve got 3 copies of ‘200 Characters‘ to give away to the first 3 people* to email comps(at)dumbofeather(dot)com with ‘200 Characters’ as the subject line. It should be a text I know, but email’s going to have to do!
*Red tape: Australian residents only. We’ll post a comment below when all 3 books have been won.

    Hi Amanda & Liz,
    I think my email must have lost the plot after I did the send out… too many ‘out-of-office’ auto replies coming back for it to handle
    Please forward it again and I’ll see what I can do.

    Hi there .On the 29 at 5.41pm I was using the internet at Westfield Sydney as I am away from my home….whilst checking my emails I received your update and replied that instant….it asked that we send an email….and did not say that one had to leave a comment as well…..today 1 Sept when I log on again I see all these comments left some time after I had replied.I assumed as I received it whist I was online and instantly replied that I had done all that was required and at the time I thought I couldn’t believe how fortunate I was…… it was a real silver lining to an otherwise traumatic day for me and my family as we had been broken into during the day……the thieves scaling the balcony and helping themselves to my son’s computer camera and ipod….and all the personal data that is contained on such things………anyway I am a little disappointed…..not sour grapes but I was so looking forward to receiving it……I guess that’s life isn’t it?

    Hi Di… we did receive your emails and you won the movie tickets but weren’t one of the first three to get in for a book… The tickets are in the post. I hope you enjoy the film… Sorry to hear about your horrid week!
