In my project, I take the same format as Grancher (force people to document themselves once an hour for 24 hours) but take away the restrictions. I let people express themselves creatively any way they wanted. The finished product is an intimate look into the minds's of others: random thoughts, intimate concerns, creative ideas, daily habits, and much more in their rawest forms! Note: Version 1! I'm planning on adding more people.

The year is always ends with a 3 since the war in Iraq started in 2003. The decades are chosen based on availability of archived data.

The artist recapitulates the ontogeny of visualization and perception by following the narrative and process of drawing. The retracing process then continues by reversing and decaying the image: creation, destruction, variation, iteration.In this installation, the works process recapitulates Goya's famous collection of etchings The Disasters of War, on view in the Theater Gallery. Grey's retracing system redraws one etching a day in four simultaneous yet different iterations. In retracing the etchings approximately, the work approaches, yet never reaches, the original image.In Recapitulate, Grey proposes a revision of the classic biogenic law Ontogeny recapitulates phylogenythe development of the individualmirrors that of the speciesin the form of Culture recapitulates ontogeny.

Grancher's art is a mix of conceptual and pop art references, sometimes with a sense of humor, sometimes appropriating the fads of the day. When Grancher started in the art world in 1995, he employed email to reveal the processes and exchanges within the Internet community, manifesting in physical installations like 'Alone' (1995). In 1997 he used webcams in his project 'webscape', which dealt with the concept of "cybertime." In 1998, Grancher experimented with pop art in his 'webpaintings' project. In 2002, as Google began to dominate the Internet, he launched the "Search Art" collaborative project by creating a piece called 'Self Portrait.' Googlehad become a buzz word in the art world, and numerous artitsts had previously plundered the subject to death. In 2005 he exhibited and sold at FIAC, the international art fair in Paris, 'the biggest Google paintings never (sic) produced.'

During the performance, for twenty-four continuous hours prior to the opening of this exhibition, the two artists roamed their respective continents and sent a constant stream of still images, video, and sounds from their cell phones to a central server that in turn influenced their movements in an interactive telematic dance. The artists custom software sifts through the resulting media detritus during the exhibition, comparing the results side by side as in an art history lesson, seeking a meaningful connection, even a transcendent moment, amid the fragments of a day.

Keats reveals the ghost in the political machine and, like Goldbergs Ouija 2000, asks us to consider the nature of our own agency in a system that operates at a distance. Ouija Vote 2008 takes the Central Limit Theorem to its logical conclusion, positing the democratic process as a mystical algorithm.

It asks how our conception of our place in nature has been impacted by a shift from the use of terms such as spaceship Earth in the past to thermal pollution, global warming, and climate change in the present. Drawing from both historical sources and contemporary usage on the Internet, In Popular Terms maps the catch phrases, scientific terminologies, and bumper sticker slogans that evince the evolving language we use to describe our relation to nature.

In contrast to most network-control systems, in which a single user controls a single robot, in Ouija 2000 multiple users come together to collaboratively control a single industrial robot arm. This suggests the Central Limit Theorem, developed by de Moivre and Laplace in 1812. This statistical theorem describes how independent random variables can be combined to yield an estimate that becomes more accurate as the number of variables increases.
