Reviews
Significant Objects is an incredibly fun, if curious, success, one that toys with the disparity between an object's financial and emotional values, and speaks to our wonderfully human propensity to believe in nonsense., Significant Objects combines one of the oldest of all media -- the near-improvised short story -- with the reinvigorated writer-reader relationship afforded by Web 2.0., The short stories are lovely. Some allude to an object's brush with fame; others suggest heartache, loneliness and the occasional bar fight. Each story casts a strange spell on the objects, and on our perception of them., To those who don't believe in the transcendent power of a good story ... behold: the Significant Objects project.
