a free of speech performance event. Eight male artists and one male dog presented visual and sound
works united by a common interest in meditation practices, planetary alignments and the mysteries of
human consciousnesses. The humans that attended remained silent for the entire duration of the event.

For a performance entitled 00:11:11:00.A, I gave fruits to our human audience that represented the nine planets in our solar system, then became possessed by a death star and traveled at slow shutter speed around the space attempting to steal their planets. I took a bite off Venus, I kidnapped Mercury and pulverized Saturn.The rest of the planets were kept safe by the humans. The performance lasted 11 minutes and 11 seconds.
