Produce a user-clicked heat map of the United States, asking "Assuming you could find appropriate work and income, where in the United States would you most like to live? You may choose your current area, too." In exchange for this brilliant idea, you and your readers have to watch the 10-minute video on my website, linked through my name above. Fair deal? ;-) I’m going to give you your next great idea…

That's pretty interesting. Adrian: I really don't know, but I do know that some people have ascribed it to how sensitive different areas of the body are. The feet have few nerves compared to other parts of the body. jln: Thanks for the kind words, and the information from your performance experiences. That’s pretty interesting.

It's net-art really using the web. When I first discovered Dolores Lab a few month ago, via the color experiment, I thought that I should do a piece using your services. But now the standard is raised, and I better think of something really cool ! Anyway, i'm doing a web based info-sculpture, due to be online next year (around women street harassment stories) and Fleshmap is really an inspiration to continue my project. PS : "straight men are the least likely to report wanting to be touched" It's purely anecdotal, but I've seen that in my performance art work too. Women for example engage a lot more easily in the performance. But in my experience men over 45 seems to be more open to play with their body, in an performance art context. Do you confirm ? (do they older men like more to be touched than younger men ??)
