Live Shorts @ Filament Festival (EMPAC): You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About — a MTAA lecture/performance controlled by the audience and the Internet :: October 2, 2010; 2:45 pm + October 3, 2010; 3:45 pm :: Streamed live. We NEED your tweets! (Please tweet away with the hash tag #mtaa and you’re tweets will be included in the performance.)

We, like you, 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.
