Somebody was working on Nam June Paik's Electronic Superhighway: Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii yesterday. Those are sections of the lower Mississippi river attached to the gray plywood crate on the floor.

There's a little video that gives a sense of what Electronic Superhighway looks like in action in the galleries. You can also zoom in on it for a detailed closeup. We open in 22 days. Photo by Mike Edson.
