> "Real Time" is a performative mechanism enabling media collection and
> processing as performance and artwork. Commencing with rapid real-time
> harvesting and retrieval of media data via different inputs (sensors,
> senses,
> and sensations), the space and crowd that inhabits it are subject to
> an evening
> of interventions. The project offers a series of continuous real-time
> re-
> contextualizations of existing media and devices at THE THING, as well
> as those
> found by the artists upon arriving in New York City; the contents and
> live
> output will morph and grow. The outcome of "Real Time" will be decided
> by the
> consistency of who attends, the time of day, what is happening in the
> news, and
> whatever we, the artists, decide to work on in reaction to those
> outcomes.
