just some things

i was wondering about a new term?

Social Cairns, something similar to flash mobs if people are involved, but more in the lines of something like performance art or anonymous art. Think if we were to create small insignificant beacons throughout our social landscape. small Cairns indicating the presence of an activism or awareness of those around us who partake in the activity. do not get me wrong this is nothing new, it may just be a more abstract and no group based expression of this phenomena. the Free masons and other trades often created messages and symbols of their existence or interaction with inanimate objects by means of cryptic signals, messages and symbolism. So what would i be proposing, now there would be something that would destroy the notion of this anarchistic representation of this form of symbolism, in some ways the graffiti artists do something similar. The graffiti artists sic! if we can define them as such are more an expression of a homogeneous anti-societal collection, which through its anarchism and behaviours tend rather to be homogeneous and constrained to a general underlying thought. what i am proposing is something far less structured than this, something far more unconstrained by bias and preconception. the only similarity or conformance of the notion is that it exists. I am not sure how long something like thsi would take to gain momentum and or to even gain conscious momentum. It could land up taking very long and gain immense momentum yet not ever actually be recognised or even be noticed by anyone.
