Granoff Center’s New Exhibit Just A Live Feed Of The MOMA

“We’ve been preparing for this unveiling for more than a year,” said curator Robert Kitsch. “It’s really the crown jewel of the whole gallery. The feed is so crisp and clear, that it almost feels as though you’re at the MOMA, seeing the walls in the flesh.”

The exhibit is not just a single window into the famous museum, though, declared Kitsch. “We actually managed to fit a total of five cameras throughout the building, and the Granoff display switches randomly between them at timed intervals. If you think about it, the exhibit mirrors the monotony of modern life. It changes, and yet it never really changes. This is the kind of exhibit that can draw a viewer in for hours. I expect that it will have an enormous impact.”

When asked for comment, most viewers responded by slightly tilting their heads, their faces lined with bemusement.

“It’s frightening in a way,” explained Kitsch. “You know that every second passing by is another second of your life that has changed you, but you can’t make sense of what’s in front of you. It’s unsettling on an emotional and existential level.”

Other staff members are not so enchanted by “Camera.exe.” “I’ve seen works miss the mark before, but this one seems especially poor,” said Granoff Director of Security James Bell. “Unless I’m missing something?”
