For our contribution to the 2008 Biennial, we gave away 1,000 copies of issue #6 of the Journal using the duct above. The duct dumped a specific amount of books each day- timed to correlate to the to the amount of deaths incurred on that particular day, a year previously in American wars in the Iraq and Afganistan. The wall text to the left describes the project, its daily drop and lists the amount of daily deaths as calculated from a variety of websites.
