His performance:
"Model Notes" is a slide lecture performance that explores the idea of "models", from fashion models, to the Copernican model, to model citizens, to the Domino theory, to Wild West shows, to the Marshal plan, to urban planning, to feng shui. The performance takes the form of a business presentation--I stand at a lectern and present PowerPoint slides while speaking about models. However, the content chafes against the form of the lecture, producing a simultaneously philosophic and humorous interdisciplinary performance.
