Multiverse is a series of poems that are programmatically constructed from the live, public Twitter feed. An act of incidental collaboration, each line of the Multiverse poems is from a different author: musing, observing, ranting, and disclosing mundane, unexpected and momentous details of their lives to the public at large.
What can be magical about Multiverse is when otherwise disconnected thoughts from otherwise disconnected people come together to form a coherent and true picture of life in the city. Poems are customized for each new installation site to reflect the state of mind of the neighborhood and context. The poems for Multiverse on 37th are: Transit, Office and Aspiration.
Multiverse was previously installed on 14th street in the fountain at Union Square Park, as a part of last year's Art in Odd Places Festival. You can see a slideshow of the installation here: http://blog.caketoo.us/2009/10/17/multiverse-on-14th-pictures-from-oct-16-2009/
You can experience Multiverse on 14th live, on the web at: http://multiverse.caketoo.us details 3 dances, one for each poem. Each dance will run for approximately 30 minutes. Like the poems, each dance is a structured improvisation, a series of "movement games" built around the central theme of each poem: Transit, Work, and Aspiration.
