Astrodime Transit Authority

This summer, gina kamentsky and sam smiley checked out the transportation system in Taxco, Morelos, Mexico. Everything is on an incline..the buses and taxi’s are VW buses and Beetles. Buses are cheaper (5 pesos) and more fun, but the taxis are great to watch. here’s a video by sam smiley

AstroDime Transit Authority is going to set up a temporary communication network on Bumpkin Island in the Boston Harbor Island, this Labor Day weekend. Using tin cans, string, and ingenuity, we will attempt to connect the other artists and visitors to this island via a highly sophisticated telecommunications network. We will provide phone cards, and take surveys as to the effectiveness of this service. At the end of the weekend, we will take our network down. Come visit us on Saturday and Sunday September 1 and 2!

Here’s some information on how to get there:
