THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ASLEEP AND SOMEONE AWAKE
…
THE NETWORK IS ETERNAL
On January 17th, 2019 Art will be 1,000,056 years old. To celebrate this birthday I will be participating, along with several artists and orgs, in the global event – see ArtsBirthday.Net for full schedule.
Using the classic Robert Filliou / Georges Brecht poster text as a point of departure, I will create live stories and posts on Instagram (@piquette). Viewers are welcome to DM me during the process and have their images / texts integrated into the unfolding story*.
This will happen in three cycles:
JANUARY 17th, 2019, VANCOUVER
- 8:22am AWAKE until 8:58am PST HUNGRY
- 11:22am to 2:22pm PST EATING LOVING
- 8:22pm until ASLEEP DREAMING

* If you want to participate, you can follow me on instagram — @piquette and send me images or text loosely related to the Filliou / Brecht text. You can also contact me via twitter — @deanneachong (although that won’t be as closely monitored).
