The original inspiration for warchalking

As I think I've mentioned, the original spur to the idea was seeing some architectural students chalk up a life-size office plan in a London square.

Kass has sent me her photos of this event:

• Picture 1: chalked URL
  
• Picture 2: wifi-office workers
  
• Picture 3: defining space
  

Kass also points us to a piece on the work by John Chris Jones - which may be the first argued connection of warchalking to Spinoza(!):

"14:25 Outside the Architectural Asssociation, London, in an outdoor room, invisible, but imaginable from the presence of its ground plan, drawn in chalk on the pavement, and from the presence of chairs, and of people sitting on them."
