Sam punched a time clock on the hour every hour for one year in his studio. He shot one frame of 16mm film for each time clock punch. He shaved his head at the beginning of this performance - the time lapse/animated hair growth serving as a record of the performance. I believe he was institutionalized briefly right after this performance - he didn't sleep for more than an hour at a time for one year... punching a clock several times a day is maddening enough. A link explaining the work: http://vimeo.com/16280427

Description: A hidden cellphone camera documents the trek of a box of sheets as it travels through a Wal-mart Distribution Center. Part roller coaster ride, part Marxist critique, this cat and mouse game was shot on the final day of ten years of service by associate 2569.

I really can't jeopardize her job (no matter how shitty the conditions are and how politically unjust the entire corporation is) with my silly little video that could be easily found with a simple internet search. But art folks, you might be interested.
