We want to create a loose video
snapshot/yearbook/documentary about WHO
net-"artists" are in 1996, why they do what they
do and the circumstances/environments in which
they inter-react. This "day in the life of" type
of project has been kicked around on the OTIS/SITO
Mailing List several times and is now gurgling
into some primitive form of existance.
Prompted by the third anniversary of SITO on the
net and the convergence of (at least) four SITOids
in Omaha, Nebraska on Feb. 17-20th, 96 Hours is an
attempt to chronicle something of the distant but
terribly meaningful, artily collaborative and
utterly personal relationships that evolve over
the net and projects such as SITO. The hope is to
capture a snapshot and overview of what's going on
with net-art in general and SITO in specific.
Initially suggested as an episode of an Omaha-area
public-access program "They Call it Art" (an art
interview show), the idea nearly simultaneously
exploded in my head to make it a "collaborative"
documentary reaching far and wide for the input of
ALL concerned. All SITOids are invited to
interview themselves and other net-artists, on
video, during the 96 hour love fest. Video can
include interviews (duh), examples of work,
improvised collaborative long-distance phone-tag
performance art, speculative ranting, screaming,
tours of studios, long drawn-out shower scenes,
collaborative work created on-screen (time-lapse
or real-time), improvised music, birthday wishes
to SITO, large burning wicker things and whatever
else you think of to chronicle your state of mind,
body and spirit in this day and age.
The resulting video will be edited (by you or us)
and compiled onto a tape to be made available to
whoever wants it (for cost of tape and postage).
