Ambient ongoing performances

Jennifer & Kevin McCoy: During the 72 hours, Kevin and Jennifer McCoy will perform the first version of "Mime-Type," an on-going media investigation into the motivations behind and the determining factors for art making.

Yael Kanarek: In a constant effort to blur the sense of online/offlin, throughout the weekend she will attempt to maintain a continuous display of the chat room projected on a strategic wall in the loft.

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 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.

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.
