Commissioned as part of Live Shorts for the EMPAC’s Filament Festival, MTAA present 2 performances of a new live work Oct 2 and Oct 3, 2010

“You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About #MTAA”
a live lecture/performance controlled by the audience and the Internet

Like you, we have often wished while listening to a lecture, speech or newscast to stand up and tell the speaker, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

MTAA sit behind a desk with two laptops and two microphones before them. Behind them a projection screen displays the text “#mtaa” and a timer.

They announce the title of the performance: “You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About (#mtaa).” They explain that for the duration of the performance, they will read any, only and all text sent to Twitter with the hash tag “#mtaa.” They invite the audience to start twittering.

*We NEED your tweets!*

The 2 performances of *You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About #MTAA* are at approximately 2:45PM Eastern Time on Sat. October 2nd and 3:45PM Eastern Time on Sunday October 3rd. Each performance is roughly 15 minutes. Please tweet away with the hash tag #mtaa and you’re tweets will be included in the performance.

We’ll stream it live at http://justin.tv/twhid.
