As part of a study on circular formations, the Machine Project invites people to document a stuntman jumping from the gallery’s second story window. Bring a video camera (or one can be provided), stand in a circle around where the body will fall and film the leap. The footage will be edited to suspend the stuntman in mid-air with a 360-degree pan, a la “The Matrix.”
