rel: Tired film Breaking the Cosmic Wall

A film (presented in a dimly lit theater) that instructs, in visual title text, everyone to close their eyes and will not continue till all eyes are closed.

The experience for the people watching

  • close their eyes immediately and never open them
  • close their eyes and open to check if the state has changed
  • close their eyes, open, close, open – look around to see the state of other eyes.
  • keep eyes open, never close, watch everyone close their eyes.
  • keep eyes open, never close, fix eyes on the screen only.

I am thinking of the experience of all of the people in the theater. When you would close your eyes, or open them?

Nothing ever transpires in the film, it’s simply the instruction on the screen.

This screen might be better. If it constantly switches between titles, or minutely changes.
