Marisa Olson Writes Her Dissertation - an endurance performance in 31 acts performed daily by Marisa Olson; Directed by Michael Mandiberg. Marisa will be writing “roughly during normal business hours, New York time.”

Veterans of web-based autobiographical performance, Olson and “Coach Mandiberg” have teamed-up to get Marisa through her dissertation by framing it as an act of endurance. Every day for the month of September, Olson will spend all day writing while webcam shots and screencaps of her desktop are automatically uploaded to the net every 60 seconds. This gesture of transparency is a continuation of Olson’s research into the role of sousveillance in “The Art of Protest.”
