Like the traditional Electronic Pumpkin Patch, Selling Out was a distributed performance occupying as much of the NIU music building as the Ensemble could get access to and manage to "staff." One side-effect of the approach is that no one saw the entire performance, with the performers at least as in the dark as the audience. The Ministry of Culture was staffed by someone else, and in the end I'm pretty sure it had little to do with this early brainstorm based on Orwell's book.
