 Happy that you're all here to help us kick things off. So let's cheers to you. Yeah, we have three days of what I would say is entirely inspired by the generous spirit of this community. We wanted to create a space where you could come, stay all day, take workshops, engage in conversations, learn from each other, see your work in development, and get as close to the artist as possible. So I hope they will just come. We've got places over in that little cafe where you can set up with your laptop and you have to pretend to work, but make this your own for a couple of days. And it really is my greatest pleasure of all that we get to start with Jen and me, who is someone who I've had the pleasure of working with for three years. Three years. And I saw this piece, which was commissioned by the High Line, and said, oh, we have a space for you to come. And I'm really excited that you all get to experience the piece. The way that tonight works is one of our studio visits. There are five of these. Each one is structured as like a multi-valent way of getting close to the art, by experiencing the art, by hearing from the artist, so they understand where it sits in their larger project, by hearing from a guest artist, writer, critical respondent, Ham Hopper-Bridge. And then, yeah. I want a conversation as well, which I hope you'll all participated in. And that's our performance about for tonight. So without further ado, Jen and me, I'm going to turn the room over to you. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Hello? Could you check? There we go. Thank you everybody for coming. So I'm going to do a performance. First, I'm going to talk you through the tech of the piece. And then I'll give you a little bit of a sense of what you're going to experience. And then I'll send you off on the set after. So first thing, is everybody already on the Wi-Fi? Is anybody not on the Wi-Fi raising it? Amazing. Amazing. Does everybody have a pair of headphones, something that they can listen to this piece on? Yes. Does anyone need a pair of headphones? OK, great. OK, so a couple things I want to give you. Regardless of what type of Wi-Fi enabled devices you have, put it on do not disturb mode. If you're not sure how to do that, ask me or a neighbor. Basically, if you don't want to get a call from the game, then you'll lose the game. So everybody on the Wi-Fi server? OK, now I want you to go to your browser and go to playheisenberg.org. And Heisenberg is spelled H-E-I-S-E-N-E. B-E-R-G. Can you spell it again? Yes. Play H-E-I-S-E-N-B-E-R-G. See, gray website. Is that the B? Is that the B? Is that the B? Is that the B? Is that the B? Is that the B? You all got it? Yeah. OK, so you should not be using it again. So now you get cleared to play. OK. And then it's going to pop up with basically the soundplug file. But I want you to say listen in browser. So hit listen in browser. It should not open up something. Hit pause. We all want to start together. We don't want to start. Anybody lost? Raise your hand if you just need a walk. Anybody? OK, cool. So, Heisenberg, as you may know, from some combination of the descriptions, what we've done so far, and people's genetic is an audio game. So you all are going to receive instructions over audio and some narrative. And it's going to tell you what to do. I'll talk a little bit more about the inspiration for the game afterwards. You're playing about 15 minutes of a 65 minute game. So the audio at some point will tell you, this is a full rendition. It's over. And now we're going to move forward into our conversation. Couple things to note. Don't lean against this beautiful artwork because we want to keep it nice, conservative, right? So let's keep the gallery as nice as we can. And just be mindful of one another. No knocking to each other, etc. But enjoy, have fun. After the game, like I said, we'll be a group in this area. And Cam will talk about the process of the creation of this work. And I, you know, we'll talk a little bit. Then we'll have a conversation. We'll have a Q&A about the work. Yeah. Does anybody need access to the stuff for a minute? Here we have some people just in a minute to get back onto the... Great. Perfect. Hello. Okay, we'll take a minute. What more can I tell you about the piece in that minute that will not give anything a win. I can tell you a horrible joke. Okay. So this is a joke that I heard on an economics podcast that I was into. So why not? So there was an economist, an engineer, and a doctor, and a surgeon who were deciding who was responsible for the creation of the universe. And the surgeon said, well, you came from Adam's grip, right? So, obviously, it must be the surgeon who's responsible for life. The engineer said that Adam had to come from somewhere. Somebody had to build kind of. So engineers must be responsible for life. And then the economist thought for a moment and thought, okay, well, Adam had to come from chaos. So who created chaos? Right. So Adam was responsible for life in the universe. So with that, is that all right? Yeah. Okay, so I'm going to count down to three and we're going to come down from three, sorry. And we're going to hit play all of us. Ready? Two, one, play. Oh, it's not playing. Nobody's playing. Okay, everyone go back to the beginning. You need a couple of minutes. This needs browser play. Yeah, this needs browser play. Don't open it. So if people aren't able to hear, just give me a raise of hand. And it didn't, you're on the way home. Yeah, okay. So I'm going to go a couple of minutes before it's low, and then I'll start. Okay, can everyone go back to the beginning? Make sure you're on zero zero. Zero zero. We're going to try one more time. Yep. Oh, after you hit the symbol of browser, you have to hit play. There we go again. I'm going to count down to three and then we're going to play. Yep. Everyone ready? One, play. Can I have a little more space? Square. Square. Square.
