Institute
of Sociometry,
or is, represents a world wide syndicate
of special agents involved in the practice and promotion of guerrilla
sociometry. As the term implies, guerrilla sociometry is similar
in focus to text book sociometry, yet in no way conforms to the
rigorous demands of mathematics! Still confused? Read The Report

INDIVIDUAL:agent m[i]le[s] GROUP SIZE:Approximately 50 NATURE OF GROUP: Catholic Pilgrims ranging
in age from 90 to 2 pushing a statue of the Virgin Mary. INCIDENCE OF SOCIOMETRY:A bunch of old
school pilgrims just walked by the window behind this monitor while
I was updating the website!!
I raced up the street on my Schwinn Super LeTourto take the following
pictures. I
rode alondside a slow moving support mini-van
for the run down. The
pilgrims are marching
33 miles from rural Watkins Colorado to the Mother Cabrini Shrine
in the foothills. They started last night at 6pm after Mass.
I asked the
mini-van lady if
they were marching in protest of something due to all the political
shenanigans around the DNC. (Anti-abortion, Anti-Gay, Anti-the inexorable
march of time into the future...) She
hooked me up with this crazy church 'zine explaining their annual
march (seventh Sunday after the Pentacost) to give thanks to Mother
Cabrini.
INDIVIDUAL:Employee of Qwest corporate headquarters GROUP SIZE:13 NATURE OF GROUP: A crack squadren of
minimalist sculptors, donating their time and expertise. INCIDENCE OF SOCIOMETRY:Qwest Vex
In advance of Sociometry Fair 2008 (see below)
sleeper cells of IS Agents are coalessing to relate to groups
through guerilla sociometry!
On
Monday May 19th at 8:50 in the morning a crack squadron 13 minimalist
sculptors delivered 576 phone books to the plaza of Qwest corporate
headquarters in the form of a giant phone book. The donated minimalist
sculpture "reflected its architectural surroundings and provided
an ergonomically designed, functional apparatus for employees
to interact with while sitting and enjoying their lunch break."
