It started like this: we picked a quote. It could be any quote, but in this case, we picked a quote from postmodern writer Jean Baudrillard. Next, we made art that was inspired by or related to the Baudrillard quote, which is now partially compiled on our website, fingermagazine.com/matryoshka. We'll call this, the art related to Baudrillard, Layer #1.

Next, the plan is to construct art/writing/film/music/etc. that relates to the art of Layer #1, and call that Layer #2. We'll then make art inspired by Layer #2 and call that Layer #3, and so on.

We're interested in exploring the origin and function of inspiration, the interaction between members of a community art project and the creation of art that eschews the constraints of copyrights.

The contributions can be of any medium. We're hoping more people will get involved, ideally each layer will have an exponential increase of contributors/contributions.

This project is called Matryoshka and is named after the Russian nested dolls; the collected 'Layers' of the project are an organizational representation of the nested doll design pattern.

Everyone is invited to contribute. We are having a meeting tomorrow for anyone interested in learning more about the project:

Matryoshka meeting
Sunday, February 4,  4 p.m.
