This is the situation thus far…

Prologue - a live audience at SFMOMA votes that the Automatic for the People: ( ) performance should happen in SFMOMA's freight elevator

Poll 1 - the people decided that the performance should be titled: Automatic for the People: (We Solemnly Promise That No One Will Get Naked)

Poll 2 - it is decided that the duration of the performance should be "the exact same length as R.E.M.'s 'Automatic for the People' album"

Poll 3 - house plants, 2x4s, lawn chairs and a PA are to be used as props during the performance

Poll 4 - we've been directed to refer to these themes during the performance: Marcel Duchamp, chat rooms, ukuleles and take-out food

Poll 5 - we will game, build, dance and photograph (slowly) during the performance

Poll 6 - we'll be dressed as robots

Poll 7 - the general public will be allowed to attend the performance

Poll 8 - and they've chosen to have wine & cheese for refreshment

Poll 9 - the nature of the space will be 'all over the place'
