Sleep Performance. 1974.

In this performance, Myers slept overnight on a makeshift bed in the main studio of the Synapse Cable Network. Television monitors surrounding her bed received transmissions from a second origination point on the network, where participants were invited to make subliminal contact with her and watch themselves as virtual presences in her space.

Eight hours, black and white, sound. Synapse Cable Network, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York.
