As part of the 2007 Conflux Festival in Brooklyn, and in honor of the 50th anniversary of Guy Debord's First Situationist International, Trong G. Nguyen organized on September 16 at NGC Gallery the G3SIS, a closed-door meeting of eight women artists and curators who had been invited and challenged to solve all the world's major economic, socio-political, and environmental problems in one day. No public witnessed the event in New York. However, the summit in its entirety, and the group's findings, is broadcasted as a radio transmission through an old wood box radio at Super Bien!. Nguyen has transformed the greenhouse into a mid-20th century living room where viewers can simply come in, sit down, and travel back in time with technology by listening to what sounds like a radio show from the 1950s, a la Orson Welles.

TIANNA KENNEDY is a Brooklyn-based cellist, sound and transmission artist, consultant, curator, events coordinator, and writer. Though projects vary greatly, they are all underscored by her commitment to egalitarian and participatory practices and can be viewed as performative experiments in gift economies and social sculpture. Tianna is the self-proclaimed leader of this weekend's conference. In her spare time she wanders around her neighborhood or camps on rooftops, hums, and writes letters entitled: "Detergent: How to Use" and "Theory of the Drive-In." She's working on a blog/youtube video about spectacles, but secretly wears contacts. She plans to save the world in 6 hours.
