Objets trouves
I found this amazing thing: FOUND Magazine, where notes, photos, and other things that people find end up. Some of the items are funny, or disturbing, or both. While I find this fairly fascinating, I think the ethics are questionable. How awful would it be to have a note you wrote in a fit of anger show up on the Internet? Especially if you had decided against sending it and crumpled it up and thrown it away--only to have it blow out of the trash and end up on the shoe of some stranger who submits it to FOUND.
As for me, I just hope those affirmation tapes I made myself in my early 20s never turn up in a thrift store.
