over 60 Ohio University students gathered under the leadership of stacy asher and dohyoung sung to re-present the black spots of chewing gum that dotted the sidewalks. the old spots were painted with non-toxic, flourescent pink tempera paint.

within an hour and a half both sides of the sidewalk were covered. the change in the landscape suprised town inhabitants and they wondered what the meaning of it was.

it started to rain that afternoon and within a couple of hours the spots had returned to their normal state.
