We set up a video camera without a capturing medium on the balcony of the VAC and framed for the sky on this particular cloudy day,  and ran the cable back into a tube monitor inside a darkened room where we watched the sky on television .

scores, instructions, performance, event:  where we received a set of performance instructions from artist and archivist Andrew Lampert :

our projectionists Rebecca and Elizabeth prepare their instruments

 Jeanne Liotta's Loretta and Eclipse, projected according to Andrew Lamperts score #1
