Turbulence Commission: "1 year performance video (aka samHsiehUpdate)"
by MTAA
http://turbulence.org/works/1year
"We shall seal images of ourselves in images of our studio, seemingly in
solitary confinement inside seemingly identical images of cell-like
rooms measuring 10ft x 10ft x 10ft. We seemingly shall not converse,
listen to the radio or watch television, until–after you have viewed
them for one year–we unseal our images."
"1 year performance video" continues MTAA's series of Updates "that
resound seminal performance art from the 60s and 70s, in part by
replacing human processes with computer processes."
"1 year performance video (aka samHsiehUpdate) is a 2004 commission of
New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc., (aka Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence
web site. It was made possible with funding from the Jerome Foundation."
