Back online — surmounted technical problems, the storm is coming… still the Middle Class survived.

Fractured ice






Nora and Charlotte Police
Charlotte is so much more open than Tampa. There is no permitting, anyone can express themselves as long as they don’t impede others.
Park Superintendent Peter Cook asssured us that there would be no problems with us setting up our sculpture, but when we arrived the Police quickly intervened.
It was a matter of the safety of the Occupy Charlotte people, our vehicles could hit them if they woke up and left their tents.
In the any event, we were able to set up the sculptures with no problems.

Here are a few of the images we captured while the Middle Class melted down at the Republican National Convention in Tampa on August 26th. For a full set of images, visit our Flickr page.

Behind the Scenes
On to Charlotte
Never Forget Isaac
We’ll be posting a timelapse video from Tampa later today with a new collection of stills from the ice melt.
We’ll be in Charlotte next Monday on the first day of the DNC with another Middle Class ice sculpture – where will it melt down faster: Tampa or Charlotte?
Is that a reflection of climate or policy?
