Posted by Jen Graves on Tue, May 26, 2009 at 1:01 PM

At Shift Studio, David Hoang is taking your Tweeted suggestions and turning them into drawings on paper.

At the southwest corner of the quad at UW, Mario Nima wants you to interact with his sign made of powerful rare-earth magnets to create a new sign: what he calls "Graffiti 2.0."

Here, UW museology students are turning your advice—any advice—into an exhibition coming up at the UW Hub. My advice: Be you drunken ceaselessly.

Old news. Sam Brown's Explodingdog.com has been doing this for several years. You email him a sentence, word, anything, and he draws whatever comes to mind. He does good work. Check him out.

All I can say about Graffiti is that whoever the jerks are that put theirs on the large murals under the U Street bridge and the Aurora Bridge deserve to have their houses painted scarlet red and their head shaved.

I love that last photo. Where is it from? Oakland?

The advice exhibit put on by the museology students has an interesting twist: exhibit visitors will not only see and hear advice given virtually, they will determine the content of the physical exhibit. Visitors will get to rate advice, ask for advice, give advice, group advice and just play with the content. The result will be constantly evolving! Come check it out at the UW HUB on June 6 to 8 from 9 am to 6 pm. http://adviceexhibit.tumblr.com
