We Ping Good Things To Life: An Interactive Networked Installation in 5 Acts

"This reclusive couple has been producing art together since the mid-2000s.

'We Ping Good Things To Life' is an ever evolving and expanding interactive networked installation that brings together elements of Toy Theater, Vaudeville performance, Surrealism, and consumer culture. Users can activate dozens of store-bought, found, and donated objects to create a unique performance, alone or with others, via the live streaming video feed. Inspired by the work of friend and artist Jarvis Rockwell, 'Act 1: Remember When We Used to Have Fun?' explores the hidden lives of toys. New acts exploring assemblage, puppetry, and animatronics through themes of patriotism, cabaret, and the circus sideshow will be introduced every three weeks through June 4, 2012. The dates for new Acts are: March 12, April 2, April 24, and May 14. The project will be archived through a series of video highlights of the many performances. " -- From Turbulence
