performance piece

couple talks into a wall with text messaging being sent to it... they stop look at eachother and acknowledge eachother (like when new yorkers occasionally do when it's late night on a dark street and two people pass eachother). Then they go back to reading the texting coming to the wall from the audience inputting it. Then a tv rolls out with a woman or man reading right into the screen (teleprompter) the couple reading stop and then sit down into a couch that's been rolled out and then a lamp a coffee table and perhaps a bookshelve roll out to create the model room and the tv woman still reading the text messages. The whoel thing is done live.

The abbreviated text messaging represents the abbreviated information we are receiveing through television, a pictrue says a thousand words, how fast does it take you to read a thousand words and comprehend it. Pictures are powerful and abbreviate 1,000 words into 1 pic. when will a "something" say a thousand pictures... what will that be and who will control it... or perhaps that's what nuclear weapons are?

I want the couple to end up in a beautiful ethan allen furniture set to show what I see, this is my take on things and when I visit friends and others. This is the model to follow if you want comfort around the television.
