I have an idea for a video installation project. It will require 3-5 flat screen televisions. I will need to mount them on some sort of cohesive frame. They will each require input from a netbook, pad or smart phone. I need to run multiple images at once. A soundtrack will be required. I can probably put something together in Sony Acid. The images will be a mixture of video and still photos. Simple video editing software should be sufficient. The expense will be mainly the flatscreens. I can search for used ones. I need 25" sized screens. This project will take awhile....

I live in an apartment in New York City. I go down to the street level and drink coffee in a McDonalds. I think…how ironic. I sit in a booth with 3 people I don’t know. I look out the window to see all the people passing by. It looks like most are heading to the same place. It’s sunny out. Cool. I’m wearing a hoodie. I finish and go to the counter to order more coffee. I have to wait in line. A girl in front of me orders ice cream…with salt. A boy holds up a cardboard sign that says “End all Regimes.” The clerk gives me coffee with 2 packs of syrup. I look for sugar on the tables. An elderly women gives me 3 packs. She knows me. Calls me by my name. I pour the sugar in through the little plastic opening. I wonder what it will be like when I get downtown.
