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.”
The second story leap is the first of a two-part series entitled “A Practical Demonstration.” Picking up on the circular and orbiting theme, Machine Project is asking people in every time zone to point their computer camera to the sky between 11:30am-12:30pm. For one 24-hour period an international circle of people will chase the sun around the earth. The resulting video will be screened for 24 hours at the gallery space.
