[artinfo] We won't fly for art

[+]

"Metzger does not claim the project as a work of art, or even an idea 
which he has control over."
http://ecoartblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/reduce-art-flights.html

The six month idea comes from Patrick Lichty, Deb King, Jake Harries,
signers of the Pledge “wewontflyforart5”.
