100 People Performance is a 5-act performance art play that presents projects, objects and possibilities designed for a group of 100 people, employed through the chance mechanics of presentation, demonstration and instruction. 100 People Performance is a self-organizing system, part game etiquette and part cottage science alchemy. There are no mistakes. And remember: singling out is not valued at 100 People Performance because the whole of the pattern is always greater than the sum of its parts.

Order of Events (October 2004 version)

2. object + demonstration: Inflated Ideas + Impossible Projects (helium balloon readings)
