Ambient ongoing performances:

72 Hour Over-exposures: Cary Peppermint will place himself in what he
considers an "over-exposed" space where art is discouraged by spectacle
or hyper-visualization of capital. He may thereafter employ a series of
narcissistic and self-serving pleasure tests with hopes of generating
relevant data for his ongoing theories regarding the possibility of
contemporary art as dependent upon the restlessness of the "intermittent
exposure".

Studio-Time: a 72 hour continuous art-making performance, immersed in an
environment with her peers, Tina LaPorta will work on her new project
while engaging in real-time dialog with the other artists about net.art,
post-feminism, temporary autonomous zones, voyeurism and connectivity.

MTAA: Physical avatars of (MTAA) M.River & T.Whid will be in evidence on
camera from time to time. Their actions may or may not seem rational
depending on one's point of view.

POSTING OF AMBIENT PERFORMANCEduration matrix: 72 small gestures for the
global gaze in 72 hours by rdom: possible gestures: sit still and get
stoned…make small talk…read from stuff…do my email…watch
strippers fall asleep during story time…eat jennifers left
overs…wear my mask just for the fun of it when the cops come….try to
catch people looking out the windows….bring some Hong Kong
flicks…..pretend to do something and then get angry at an
object…chat with the dead and the over_exposed…apply for a job with
low pay…try not to look at the cameras…try to give the wrong answer
to most questions…hold hands…whisper things to id_runners… bounce
back and forth between them till i get really tired and start to
complain about the entire effort…and make my get away…..

Red Light/Green Light: A Laptop connected to the phone line will auto-
dial a series of telephone numbers. It will be telephoning voice mail
machines. The phone numbers will be those of the artists in the Hijack
along with other voice mail such as the weather, MoMA, etc. This is a
way introduce everyone and establish a context. When the telephone is
operating the surveillance cameras freeze. This may cause some
interesting random selection of video stills.
