comments:	What I think is interesting about this work isn't so much the recreation of an architectural space and the representation of artworks in that virtual space, but that it identifies the process of viewing, and presenting, art as a system. In recreating the appearance of an art opening, the artist had to first identify the acceptable behaviors and patterns that people would be engaged in. That the viewers start in a formation is an interesting way of revealing that pattern of normative and ritualized behavior. If only the order slowly broke down and we ended up with people having a nude food fight with the cheese and crackers.
