Dreams and Possibilities @ Whitney @ Altria

This show runs until the end of next week. If you are in NYC please take time to check it out. The Whitney at Altria is located right next to Grand Central Station right across the street from the Central Cafe. (The Cafe under the bridge across from one of the exits at Grand Central) Harry and Carole both showed up with me at different times and were interviewed by the Praxis Team. It was interesting meeting other participants from around the country.

Open source concepts are a very new idea for people who aren't involved with computers as part of their livelihood. Thirty - forty actors showed up everyday to participate in the performance aspect of this installation and many of them were not comfortable with the idea that their interviews would be uploaded to the internet... even if the results promised a feature length film. That's where we're headed, people. That's where WE are - you, and I. Its a bridge AND a wall... an idea I find very compelling in its inherent contradictions. Like any tool (I read this as fool in a rereading....hmmmm...), it depends on how one uses it and how one thinks about it.
