Plan for Figment (in silence) Festival 2010 for Gravity Sucks

Gravity sucks is a collaboration with Jesse Newman (Performer in video below - raw footage from Figment 2010), who has previously appeared in our blog posts - Check out his blog While this machine is to him.



Invocation: Silent, solitary, suffocating, and stilling bout of immediate laughter.


Ties: Appear unable to figure out how to tie a tie, so seek out and attain aid from chanced-upon tie-wearers.


Pictures: Attempt to convince passersby to film and photograph performance of familiarity, the products of which will be compiled on blog.


Approvals: Do anything for as long as physically possible except talk.


Introductions: Be unwilling to progress further than a handshake or hug with stranger.

Charities: Convince passersby to accept one penny and that they owe nothing to anyone.


Separations: Undertake with aid of notes to establish unique 'six degrees' that separate two apparent strangers.
