“I don’t necessarily love rotting bodies, but there’s a texture to a rotting body that is unbelievable. Have you ever seen a little rotted animal? I love looking at those things, just as much as I like to look at a close-up of some tree bark, or a small bug, or a cup of coffee, or a piece of pie. You get in close and the textures are wonderful.”

“I started to carry chalk around with me. I ride my bike a lot, so, I’d ride my bike over to people’s houses and leave them messages in chalk on their sidewalk. I set up a couple of systems with people where, when they got home, they would put something in the window, like a stuffed dog, or put a pumpkin up on the ledge that meant ‘Hey, I’m here. Come talk.’ I started having fun trying to dream up different ways to get people’s attention.”
—Jake Reilly, a 24-year-old college student who gave up his cellphone, email and social media for 90 days. He says that, among other things, the experiment taught him that some people he thought were close friends really weren’t that close after all, and he thinks it helped him get back together with a girlfriend.
