The project was funded through Kickstarter, an arts-funding web site that we wrote about last September. Here is the Flickr pool of photos of the house, and below is the Kickstarter video explaining the project.


And a rather arty video of the result:

It’s a photo of what’s described on the blog I ought to be working as a pile of manure left in the entrance of a Chase Manhattan bank ATM at 10th street and 2nd Avenue in Manhattan, with this explanation:

This happened across the street from my apartment. The protest happened yesterday. Chase is one of the biggest investors in mountain top removal mining. The protesters said they would leave a mountaintop in every Chase.

The blog EV Grieve, however, clarified that the pile was actually dirt, and a comment there directed us to the Reverend Billy, an activist/performance artist famous for his stunts targeting American corporations. Here is the Reverend and his choir doing their thing at Chase:

More on that protest from the Reverend Billy site. And the Rainforest Action Network has a page called JPMorgan Chase, Banking on Dirty Energy, which claims “JP Morgan Chase is the largest US bank financing mountaintop removal coal mining, which literally involves blowing the tops off historic Appalachian Mountains and poisoning drinking water to extract a relatively small amount of dirty coal.”

In the interest of providing equal time, here’s JPMorgan Chase’s 2008 Corporate Responsibility Update. But let’s face it, without the singing and dancing, it’s a tough slog…
