Shrink-wrapped everything in the Machine Project office by Nate Page

…looms large while we are laboring over our sewing machines this afternoon for the first day of sewing workshops with Annie O’Malley, as we sit beneath a giant version of the white folding plastic chairs we are sitting on, and to the back everything in the entire Machine Project office/work area has been shrink wrapped and piled high – all of this resulting from the artist’s process of  “…following Mark and other members of the Machine staff as they went about their day-to-day business…The intervention became an act of sheer awkwardness, with no specified end. No one really knew what Nate was up to, and it was unclear whether he was participating or observing.” (project webpage)
