'Nighttime Post,' a collaboration between artists Anthony Chapin and Erin Lavelle, is a participatory art project that illuminates the bond between strangers, hand-delivering messages by bicycle from citizen to unknown citizen throughout the night. Nighttime Post invites audiences to offer up dreams to each other and their shared surroundings. Messages pass slowly through the night – from the hear
t and mind to the mouth, the ear, the typewriter, the bicycle and finally the hands of the recipient. Collaborators include:
