a project by a canary torsi
Where is the line between public and private in our daily rituals? In a public bathroom, stop for a moment, what can you overhear? Bits of conversation, gossip, come-ons, whispers...twitter your location and things overheard using tag #overhere. See them accumulate across the city...
Send a tweet from any public bathroom in the format: #overhere + (things overheard - ex: conversation fragments, your own thoughts) + (your location - ex: union square). They will appear on the map in your location, adding to a city-wide visualization of the interactions, ideas, and exchanges occurring in public bathrooms. Confused?

Overheredarkhorse.com is a project by Lauren McCarthy, designed to complement her physical installation Overhere, debuting with Dark Horse/Black Forest, a dance performance by Yanira Castro, in the bathroom at the Gerswhin Hotel in NYC on June 5th.

The combined experience of these environments—the live bathroom performance, audio installation and website—mark a private world revealed in public space. Overheredarkhorse.com and Overhere have been commissioned by a canary torsi.

Writer Rozalia Jovanovic has created two fictionalized twitter feeds that develop the characters represented in Yanira Castro’s Dark Horse/Black Forest performance. They serve as the basis for Lauren McCarthy’s Overhere installation. Follow them here: darkbloom8 doghebitedme
