Wall Street Protests

Please see Occupology International page for more Occupy protest images.

Dear fellow Insects:

Our agenda is undergoing a metamorphosis. We have agreed to use our research into insect form and behavior to design simple, diy garments from recyclable materials for Occupy Wall Street to make and use over the coming winter.

Here are some some shots I took yesterday at Liberty Plaza – note the transit union members carrying signs who have visibly joined the occupiers as two volunteers do the trash nearby – also the guy carrying an “abstract” street painting like a protest message walkin in the march that went from the plaza up north. But what is most “buglike” about all this is the way the entire mass of people who have gathered there (and this was quite large last night, Friday, September 30, 2011) have learned to communicate by gathering into a vast circular shape made of bodies, then one person speaks, and many others repeat what was said in order to amplify the sound for everyone present (because actual electronic amplification is not permitted)…and when someone asks for approval of a statement or proposal, arms are raised in the air and people wriggle their fingers like antenna…. you must see this for yourself asap…
