nuit blanche....in a nut shell

There was not enough big outdoor installation work this year. My personal MO when it comes to things like this is to go to installation based work. Specifically things outside if possible to avoid stuff like: overcrowding and lineups. I like going to galleries, and I like seeing paintings and wall based work....but I do that a lot, so for me its

I wish you'd stayed out with us a little longer. It turns out there were a bunch of big installations. But they were all in the far west, around the mascots/furries cheering on the crowed football stadium performance art. We ended up staying up till 5ish wandering around that area. Highlights were:

- Yoko Ono - Imagine Peace giant billboard on a crane
- entire street blocked by a huge wall of barrels with nonsense text
- big installation made of packing containers that belched fog and blinked SOS in morse code.
- building with waterfall coming out of a third story window
- building with windows displaying video of fire (interrupted inexplicably by a truck full of people dancing to thriller)

Several smaller things as well, and then we ran into some friends of mine who also turned out to be friends of Heather's at a performance art piece where people throw things from high up and then smash them with sledge hammers.

Oh and we heard the glow lights in the park installation was actually stolen around 12pm so we just missed it.

I still maintain that they are going to combine all the LEDs into a giant satellite dish/laser and use it to take over the world.
