S’M Special: Art and Controversy Made For Social Media

Contributed by Rick DeVan on July 17, 2010 at 2:25 am ET

The artist Christo is proposing a project called Over the River on the Arkansas River in southern Colorado. Christo’s work is always both controversial and stunning.

The Federal Government is currently accepting comments from the public about the proposed artwork and both Christo and those against the work, such as ROAR — Rags Over the Arkansas are encouraging the public to get involved in the process.

Two social media campaigns — pro- and anti- — are just waiting to happen.

And they will happen.

This is going to be good.
