Polatrack 6/8/08, Crack Smoking Edition
Journal Entry: Sun Jun 8, 2008, 6:57 PM
Pass the crack pipe because Polaroid Type 809 is being offered at $1500 on eBay and the one box (in date) that is not "Buy it Now" only has a bid for $750.00!!!!!
UPDATE: That box of film just sold for $1075.00. If that isn't crack smoking, I don't know what is?
B&H Photo has several films on backorder including Type 803 and Type 79. Other 4x5 films in stock include Type 57, 72 and 55!!! Buy, Buy, Buy!!!!
Polaroid site is showing ample supplies of UV, Types 664, 690 and 669, but those of you keeping track know that Polaroid's site might show 900 boxes of film on day and the next its gone. They also have a lot of 600 but its still widely available.
Polaroid Zink is supposed to be released next month. Anyone for 2 megapixel camera phone instant printing? I am!!

What is a Polarox?
A form of free art where the recipient is forced to make a value judgement regarding what it is they received in the mail, ponder why they got it, and are forced to make a decision as to what to do with it. Most recipients are not aware they are going to get the work.
They are also sent to musuems all over the world. My local museum gets one every month. No specific persons attention, I like the idea of the museum secretary, volunteer or mail clerk being first confronted with the art, not the museum curator or exhibit review committee member.
The works are produced using mature technologies (Polaroid, Xerox machine, US Postal Service, and typewriter) which to me are antithetical to the digital age.
