San Francisco – Activity erupted the floor of the Stock Exchange and the Artsy Index soared as False Profit, LLC and Missing Piece announced the second incarnation of Alchemy. This flood of activity, however, was not the usual buying and selling.
Several men in business casual were spotted making origami while a large circle of traders watched a walk-off between representatives from several Fortune 500s. Easels sprouted up in the atrium while fortunes built on towers of Legos rose and fell. One bewildered Exchange administrator was heard shouting, “Ok. Who here brought the arc welder?!” It was the most activity the Exchange has ever seen.
“My mind is melting like a Dali clock,” observed one trader, overwhelmed by the unprecedented rise in the Artsy Index. “So I guess that’s what I’ll be painting at Alchemy.”
When asked to describe Alchemy, Stephanie Tholand, Lead Structural Engineer at False Profit, LLC offered this explanation: “It’s really a collaboration built atop a series of collaborations which are themselves collaborations. I assure you, it’s quite unstable and vulnerable to unexpected quakes of artistry.”
Some people are indeed expecting the unexpected: “I’ve heard the Missing Piece fashion show is basically magic,” said an anonymous source from deep within the fashion industry.
Both False Profit, LLC and Missing Piece declined to comment on the details of Alchemy, citing the impossibility of predicting what the attendees will do.
Alchemy, an interactive art event, is commencing on April 26th at
CELLspace in San Francisco and a great flurry of artiness is expected.

Re: False Profit and Missing Piece Present: ALCHEMY
Mon, April 14, 2008 - 1:27 PMHere's a little more about the Flame Tree Building Workshop I'm teaching. In this 2-hour construction class, you will get to build your very own propane flame effect. It's called a propane Burner Effect, one of the simplest to create, and produces up to about 25 flames with 4" tails. You will be provided with all materials and tools, except your own propane which you can pick up at any hardware store.
Here are some pictures of Flame Trees that people made at our first workshop:

Skills you'll learn include: plumbing gas lines, making a flare fitting, leak checking, hardening and drilling copper tubing.
Reply to me if you want to sign up. The class is $40 and includes a free Alchemy ticket. -

A Case of Corporate Collusion
Thu, April 17, 2008 - 8:24 PMSan Francisco, CA - The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is sending throngs of bureaucrats to San Francisco next Saturday, April 26th to investigate a possible case of corporate malfeasance. In a shocking act of collusion with itself, False Profit, LLC will apparently make a limited number of pre-presale Priceless tickets available at Alchemy. Anonymous sources claim that 50 first-tier ($65) tickets and 50 second-tier ($85) tickets will be available at the door. Officials at False Profit, LLC declined to comment but several of them were winking heavily at me. It was kind of awkward. -
-
> It was kind of awkward. <
Thu, April 17, 2008 - 8:44 PMOne should always take pains to ascertain that said winking was indeed an act of implied collusion, rather than being symptomatic of stroke, seizure, dementia, or general indolence of the eye. -
-
Re: > It was kind of awkward. <
Thu, April 17, 2008 - 9:01 PMespecially with regard to False Profit, LLC.
you never know with those people. they're just generally very symptomatic. -
-
Re: > It was kind of awkward. <
Thu, April 17, 2008 - 11:17 PMtechnically, yes, on different days...
however, as far as mounting a 4 month installation and now also planning a fashion show segment- and returning to the exploratorium on monday for the actual installation process, i can't necessarily plan on being active on saturday night.
Sleep is valuable to me these days- rest as well...
and i would have LOVED to do the origami thing, but i'm too old to commit to that kind of weekend anymore.
sad. -

Re: > a limited number of pre-presale Priceless tickets available at Alchemy
Fri, April 18, 2008 - 4:28 PMThe world is finally a meritocracy.
Badges all around. -

Re: > a limited number of pre-presale Priceless tickets available at Alchemy
Mon, April 21, 2008 - 8:52 AMheh
i've got explanation points mounted on gold stars for a few of you as well.
I applaud all of you sporting alchemy badges. Good job all around and i am sure it's going to be insanely wonderful.

Re: > a limited number of pre-presale Priceless tickets available at Alchemy
Mon, April 21, 2008 - 11:41 AMJust to clarify-
Alchemy Merit Badges are only given to those who purchase a Priceless Ticket AT alchemy.
So there. -

Re: > a limited number of pre-presale Priceless tickets available at Alchemy
Mon, April 21, 2008 - 2:40 PMyes. we don't want to undermine the nascent meritocracy we've just installed with the obscene decadences of declining aristocracies.
badges for only those who deserve them!

Too bad.
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 11:59 AMI guesse I'll have stage a guerilla screening on the wharf or something before leaving...
I've got the necessary gear to do so indenpendently. So I just might if it feels right!
I'll try keep you posted when & if I do so before I leave town.
Thanx for considering me I only asked because I read on
your flyer that participation was encouraged...
It's must of been about audience interactions of some sorts.
Be advised, I won't make it.
Too bad..., maybe next year!?
