AB - "Nurit Bar-Shai is an interdisciplinary artist who works at the intersection of art, science and technology. Zachary Lieberman uses technology in a playful and enigmatic way to explore the nature of communication and the delicate boundary between the visible and the invisible. Yishay Schwerd is a software engineer who specializes in communication, telephony and internet. Rich Miller is a sculptor and a recent graduate of the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU. Nothing Happens was a networked online performance in which viewers worked together to make a series of objects tip over. The performance consisted of three acts, which were  centered on staged environments – a high shelf, a cluttered tabletop, and a deserted corner. Each scene contained a central protagonist: a cardboard box, a clear pint glass full of water, and a wooden chair. In all three acts, web-enabled physical devices controlled by the viewer's clicks made these objects tip over." -- From <em>Turbulence</em>
