For The Long Weekend 2009 Italian artist Paola Pivi created 1000, a work in which one thousand people descend en masse to the mezzanine bridge at Tate Modern, then scream in ear-splitting unison. The artist, preferring not to appear in this film, asked us to present the event without commentary, purely as if the viewer was there. We let 1000 scream for itself.
gotta love all this new 'art'

simply awful! I like how they felt the need to clap after though, as if there's some sense of achievement.

how gloriously anti social!
the scream is incredibly versatile standing for both fear and joy, i assume they were given no direction as to which kind to go for. If possible the scream sounded androgynous, very peculiar but as a performance i liked it.
