found doug. met doug.

When I first heard of this show, I was in board meeting with FAR. Everyone at the table was talking about a chain letter and a person named Doug.
Did you get the invite?
Email Doug.
No, don't email Doug.
It's carmageddon.
Okay yes, email Doug.
I had not checked my email that morning to see the very invite they were talking about. Obviously, I had no clue as to what they were walking about. So the only question in my mind at the time was, who the hell is Doug?
That entire conversation was the sole premise of my piece for Chain Letter. Despite how connected and small the world is now with technology moving at twitter speed, we are all still, somehow, disconnected.
It was never my intention to vandalize Bertamot, but waiting in line to install got me wanting to ask people if they knew Doug. So while I was plastering Bergamot with generic Helvetica post cards and offending orange duct tape, I realized that only a couple of people knew Doug and only a hand full have actually met Doug in person.
I was plastering this particular piece on the pavement that I met Doug. He kind of just took me out of my plastering trance and said, I'm Doug.
