sponge/projects/M1

“M1 explores the cusp between visible and invisible performance, between scripted and chance events and emergent social patterns.

M1 can be performed by anyone, anywhere. The first iteration of M1 by sponge took place at Tressider Plaza, Stanford University, Palo Alto, Califonia during the spring of 1997.

M1 is a barely perceptible anomaly that does not emerge into the visible during one cycle of viewing. It makes a slow and cumulative imprint.”
