“Nothing Happens” by Nurit Bar-Shai received a Honorary Mention in the Hybrid Art category of the Prix Ars Electronica 2007.
Nothing Happens is a telematic networked performance in which online viewers work together to make a series of objects tip over. The performance consists of three acts, which are centered around staged environments – a high shelf, a cluttered tabletop and an empty floor.
