ACTLab: Blackbox Fall 2004

 

We are just totally chillin’

 

The Blackbox of Stillness

Here in Austin it seems as if we are always in constant motion. It can be tiring to say the least, and so my friend and I (Ryan Parr, also featured in "Shake-A-Bowl") journey on a quest of non-movement. We stayed still for 24 hours! Well, not 24 straight hours technically but it was still quite a journey. You will have to click the link below to see it for yourself!

The Challenge: Spend 24 hours WITHIN MY OWN APARTMENT! 8 straight hours of absolute stillness, then an 8 hour break– but then another 8 HOURS OF NON-MOTION!!

My classmate Charles filmed a similar project about the blackbox of motion, in which he stayed walking for 24 hours.  This was cruel, and intolerable– so he halfway in, he quit!  Same thing with Brandon, who tried to keep drinking for 24 hours.

Man… did we work hard

Project #2    

24 hours of stillness? Is that even possible?
