Participate in the Audio Piece
What tips or tricks do you have for living in uncertain times?
How do you cope when things feel unpredictable or out of your control?
Call 984-377-3477 and leave a voicemail!
I’ve set up this anonymous hotline as part of a new project to be premiered at the Uproar Festival of Public Art in Orange County, NC in August. My project will include a large-scale 2D artwork and an audio piece.
This is where you come in!
I will incorporate some of the anonymous responses I receive through this hotline into the final audio piece.
You're welcome to reflect on the topic of uncertain times, and in particular, how you personally handle uncertainty. This can be any kind of uncertainty: the time between a job interview and hearing back; living with illness or caretaking for someone who's ill; our political milieu...these are just a few examples. Rather than ruminating, I invite you to reflect on strategies you might be implementing, either consciously or unconsciously, that are helping you navigate unpredictable waters. Are there actions you've taken? Are there mantras you tell yourself?
Let’s help each other through uncertain times.
Give advice to your fellow human.
You might just say the one perfect thing that someone needs to hear.
Call now!
The final piece—both its visual and audio components—will be premiered on August 1, 2025. This image is a sneak peak of a tiny portion of it. To stay abreast of this project, please subscribe to the Felix Obelix mailing list.
About
This project will comprise a 2D artwork and accompanying audio piece. The Uproar Festival of Public Art runs August 1 through 23, 2025 and is presented by the Orange County Arts Commission, a unit of Orange County government, and the Orange County Arts Alliance, its 501(c)3 nonprofit partner.
From the Uproar website: Sixty bold, high-impact, outdoor works of art will be showcased throughout the downtown communities of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough, North Carolina, and cash prizes will be awarded based on public voting and a jury panel of experts.
More than 140 artists from throughout the southeast applied to be a part of Uproar. Sixty artists were selected from six states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. (Felix Obelix is one of them.)
