From October 30th to December 23rd, 1998 we projected the collage on the wall of the Bank of the West building in North Beach, San Francisco, each night between the hours of 8:00pm and 10:00pm (although we did take a few days off every now and then). We met thousands of people and answered all kinds of questions about the collage artists, the internet, the artwork, the projector, San Francisco, and much much more. We talked with tourists, locals, artists, businessmen and women, street people, convention goers, bachelorettes, restaurateurs, and every kind of person that you might imagine out at night in San Francisco. Some people walked by without noticing, some stared at the projector, many thought that we were filming a movie, a small percentage stayed for hours asking questions and watching the art work. Some of these people came back night after night to chat about the project and to look at the latest submissions.
