With the help of several collaborators I realized actions on the city bus in Minneapolis, MN. Some of these actions were recorded with a hidden video camera. The resulting single channel loop was displayed in the gallery on two monitors seated in MetroTransit bus benches and accompanied by a activity-booklet for the project. Each booklet contained a coupon for one free bus ride, interviews with drivers, perforated action cards ("Offer to Pay Everyone's Fares," "Fall Asleep on the Shoulder of the Stranger Next to You," "Switch Seats at Every Stop," etc.) and a variety of other public transit related activities.

This project is the result of a commission made possible by the Jerome Foundation and hosted by Intermedia Arts in Minneapolis, MN.
