Calling all trespassers!
Pilot is a 4-day autonomous television studio, happening October 8 -11 2004 in Chicago. This event will involve the staging and production of over 50 television shows, performances, lectures, and direct actions, made possible by a diverse body of contributors from all over the country. This resulting video series, of so-called TV "pilots," will be edited and horizontally distributed to all participants, and will be disseminated through public access worldwide.

This event is free and open to the public, for all to come and collaborate and get involved in the conversation.
