#occupydistributed

#occupydistributed, installation Site Santa Fe, Contemporary Art, New Mexico, 2012. Live-stream video feed (1 hour). Performer Kanene Holder (Occupy Wall Street activist) playing a game of chance operation with viewers in relation to key words of the political movement. This piece framed a networked intervention, distributing the singular message of one activist in relation to the “crowd-source” of the movement and the transformation of viewer engagement. At the time of transmission, the Occupiers had recently left the Zuccotti Park site in New York. With this work we played with terms of access, surveillance, distribution, and the very concept of “occupying” a space in relation to networked mediation. Cinematographer: Aaron Phillips.
