//roman.OPALKA 1965/1-∞
=========================
In 1965 Opalka, a French born painter of Polish origin, began painting a process of counting - from one to infinity - called "OPALKA 1965/1-∞". Starting in the top left-hand corner of the canvas and finishing in the bottom right-hand corner, the tiny numbers are painted in horizontal rows. Each new canvas, which the artist calls a "'detail", takes up counting where the last left off. All "details" have the same title, "OPALKA 1965/1-∞ Detail - A-Z" (where A stands for the first number on the canvas and Z for the last one) ; the idea does not date although the artist has pledged his life to its execution: "All my work is a single thing, the description from number one to infinity. A single thing, a single life." [ excerpt from wikipedia ]
On the 22d of July 2004, he achieved the number 5.486.028 (Le Monde - 31.07.04).
NOWADAYS HE PAINTS ABOUT 380 NUMBERS PER DAY.

=========================
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO COUNT IN ORDER TO REACH ROMAN OPALKA. ALL PERSONS ARE INVITED TO POST HIS SHARE OF THE COUNT USING THE "COMMENTS" FEATURE OF MYSPACE.
The nano_CORPORATION believes that we can do even better than him! In how many time do you think we'll get to 10.000.000?
TO CONTRIBUTE WITH THIS ART PROJECT JUST FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES ON THE LEFT OF THIS PAGE. IT IS AS EASY AS POSTING A COMMENT TO MYSPACE!
=========================
//About the title of each post
=========================
ALL POSTS MUST BE TITLED EXACTLY AS EXPLAINED BELOW.
Exemple:
r.opalkha_UPDATE.A 2007/1-oo
Detail - A-Z
Where A stands for the first number on your post and Z for the last one.
=========================
//Start counting!
=========================
YOU MUST CONTINUE THE COUNT WHERE THE HIGHEST CONTRIBUTOR STOPPED.
As you may have already figured out it may happen that contributors counting the same range of numbers post at the same time. In this case both posts will be accepted and new contributors MUST consider only the highest number reached by a posterious post.
THE LAST POST ADDED TO THE COUNT MIGHT NOT BE THE ONE WITH THE HIGHEST REACHED NUMBER. BE SURE NOT TO CHECK ONLY THE LAST POST! CHECK WITH ACCURACY WICH WAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER ADDED (TITLES ARE HERE TO HELP US).
Use the box below to post your share of the count.
LEAVE THE TITLE AT THE TOP OF THE POST AND DON'T FORGET TO UPDATE THE A & Z VALUES WITH YOUR FIRST AND LAST NUMBERS.
ALL NUMBERS MUST BE TYPED WITH NO SPACES. MYSPACE ALLOWS A MAXIMUM OF 2000 CHARACTERS BY POST SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO ADD MORE THAN THAT PLEASE CUT YOUR COMMENT IN TWO OR MORE OR PART OF YOUR COUNT WILL SIMPLY DISAPPEAR...
DO NOT USE THIS BOX TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN COUNTING.
