On June 12th and 13th, 2010, the Glass Bees presented an interactive, site-specific performance on Governor’s Island, a former military facility just off the southern tip of Manhattan, as part of the FIGMENT festival. “Reading Governors Island” combined sound, images, and audience-contributed spoken word in to explore the island’s history within the context of an interactive multimedia performance.
