1 year performance video is an online stream of two men in 10mx10m rooms living there for a whole year. However in reality it is edited video to make individual streams for each viewer to correspond to the time they are viewing the stream.
This plays off Hsieh's one year performance in 1978 call cage piece, in which he did a similar documentation of where he live in a cage for a year taking pictures to document his life. This Hsieh's Update is one to bring it into the digital world we live in today.
The choices made in updating the work tell us how our society, culture, and the creative process has changed since the original was created.
