Notes: Face your World is a part of Carlos Basualdo's Notations series of exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University. From June 17 through August 16, 2002 children ages five through twelve traveled around the city of Columbus, Ohio in a bus that functioned as a digital laboratory.  The bus was equipped with computers using a program called Interactor.  Taking digital photos of themselves and their surroundings, they were able to merge the latter with about five hundred images of Columbus.  By moving the images, they were able to change their environment and themselves. At each of the three bus stops, there was a video monitor located in a large, colorful public structure that displayed images of the neighborhoods created by the children.  They became "city planners" and created a work of art that brought together public transportation, computer technology and creative thinking.
