In a sans-serif typeface, set majuscule type to fill the page. Vectorize the type. Then using that as a guide, create another page of equal size and decrease the size of each letter by 90% while keeping the center of the letter in place. Repeat 14 times. Laser cut the letters out of colorful paper and place on top of each other in registration.

Rule:

Create six categories. Look at 3 groups of 25 photos and divide into categories. Cut paper strips whose color correlates with a person. Roll a die to choose the first category. In a clockwise direction, each person places the paper strip that goes with that category. Determine paper direction by flipping a coin. Paper *can't* go off the edge!

Rule:

Make a white box. Place a dot on the box and draw a vertical or horizontal line from it. Place a dot at the end of the line and repeat until the box is finished. Make a spiral wire and fill it with colorful boxes until it is perfect. Place the wire over the white box.

Rule:

Get a book, look at the first letter of the page to get the amount of time the paper will burn. Change paper color after each chapter/section. (The book we chose was Fahrenheit 451)

Rule:

Observe someone using an app, record their gestures: Tap, double tap, swipe up, down, left, and right.
     Tap = one fold
     Double tap = two folds
     Up = three folds
     Down = closed shape
     Left = curve
     Right = one fold + curve
Each gesture applies a condition to a strip of paper. Follow the sequence until a canvas is filled, each strip standing on its edge.

Rule:

Get a group of people, choose a location, observe people for 30mins, take note of items they have (i.e. how many are wearing hats?). Choose a paper color and shape for each item, cut them out. Arrange cutouts in circles from least to most items counted.

Rule:

Cut out shapes reflecting the rate of extinction, altering the scale based on the rate. Measure out a distance between each shape, reflecting the time period between extinctions. Create a hole in the center of each shape. Hang on a string with maintaining distances between each shape, creating a mobile.

Take small found objects. Throw them on paper surface. Trace around the shape No angles or corners. Cut out the tracings. Assemble into one combined structure by cutting slits. No two of the same colors can touch.

Rule:

Choose 2 pieces of contrasting paper of any size. Stack 2 pieces so they're lined up. Slice into the paper randomly an odd number of times, without disrupting the outer edge of the paper. Repeat the same type of cut, without disrupting the outer edge of the papers, cutting an even number of times. Make a prime number of negative spaces by cutting out shapes. Connect any edges or corners in order to make the piece 3D.
