textoftheday first residency ends

textoftheday would like to thank its first resident artists Chris Funkhouser and Zsuzsa Mitro for their 21 day collaborative posting which has extended the site into audio tomfoolery and new forms of visual curiosity. We hope to host further residencies, as well as future posts from Chris and Zsuzsa. In the meantime, back to textoftheday's resident lookout found graphics submitted by our team of international roving bricoleurs.
