This video goes on for a year.

Is it fake though.
If you refresh the page and start again the people are in different positions. Register your email if you want to come back at the same amout of time later. It is pretty weird though. I haven't seen either of the people sleep or eat yet. I'm onto about 5000 seconds. I saw the one on the left have some drink out of a flask...

What does everyone else make of it?

Steven, even 'I' don't have enough spare time to watch that.

And I still play nethack.

😛

What happens when someone has been watching for a year? Do they grab a knife from just off camera and slit their own throats, simultaneously?

That'd be cool. Sombody told me they'd seen the end, and that's what happened, but then they took it off the net and all...

"First, we've taken the act of living in a cell and transformed it into images of ourselves living in a cell. These video clips are edited dynamically at runtime so that every viewer sees a slightly different cut. The clips are organized according to the clock: if you access the piece in the morning, you see us doing morning things; if you access late at night, you see us sleeping."

If you actually watch for a year, your prize is a "copy of the artwork". They made no mention of the double suicide though, so maybe it's still in there and they're just gonna surprise ya.

Not enough to watch long enough to see one of 'em take a crap.

Well I registered and I leave the page running off screen whenever I'm online so I'll tell you the end eventually.

I think one of them took a piss. The guy on the left put on one of the coats hanging on the far wall and turned to face that wall. Then he stood there for a while and then took the coat off and went and laid down. Maybe a tube comes through the wall. Maybe he was just masturbating.

Oh around 4000 seconds they are eating food. Missed the spot where the food got on the table though...

They should have set it up as a screen-saver, like .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)...
