123448527


123448527, originally uploaded by G C Lee.

This is another result (I received two for some reason) from David Horvitz's latest photo project.


Says Horvitz:

Hello!

I have just left Xiu Xiu in Frankfurt, and I am writing this in Amsterdam.

Here are photo/photos from the recent Xiu Xiu European tour.

The special tag for these photos are:

123448527

Jamie from Xiu Xiu made that number up.

As of today there are no images when you search for this.

If you upload these photos to the internet (blog, tumblr, facebook, flickr, etc...) please tag the photo with that number. You can also title the photo with the number, put it in the description, and even rename the photo to: 123448527.jpg.

Just to make it clear, what I am trying to do is to make the photo that you upload end up in search results. Whether it is a search in Flickr or more broadly in Google. People can search for it, and find all the photos of the tour, and also, find themselves on your blog. The tag becomes a web of interconnecting different personal sites.

Also:

I am deleting my copy of the photo. I'll also delete the email too later, so that I have no copy of it. You will have the only copy, and you will have the power/responsibility of the photos future. You are granted all rights to it. You can copyright it to yourself. You can print it, distribute it, etc... It is yours.
