    Parking Spaces (Gainesville Mix)
    For this project MPG investigates one of the most ubiquitous spaces in the United States, the parking lot. The day of the performance, MPG spent the day roaming the campus of the University of Florida looking for parking lots to collect sounds and images. Using only the collected material, MPG creates an improvised performance that evening.
