------- SLOW Dating or How I learned how to stop worrying and love CCTV
During her Residency, Amateur Match-Maker, Natalie Doonan invites you to participate in an all-new and exciting dating system, without any guarantee of an outcome. Utilizing all the love and openness required of any creative process, Natalie will match participants through a series of mapping experiments, and one SLOW dance event. Join only with the expectation of fun!
The first step to SLOW Dating success will be to determine your most common route through downtown Vancouver. Working either digitally or with a print out of Discover Vancouver's Vancouver Downtown Map, (above), draw a line that begins and ends in the same place, and includes the locations that you most frequent. Then send your map to ndoonan2000 at yahoo dot ca, by July 10, 2010. After analyzing the data, Natalie will send you further instructions.
