REALITY STREET functions like a period room in a cultural history museum. A waist-high glass barrier inhibits entry beyond a small viewing foyer. The alleyway portion of the piece is constructed mainly of wood and plastic. A man’s voice comes from a small portable television. The spoken text is a transcript of a recent (in 1994), randomly-chosen, thirty-minute national news broadcast and its commercials – voiced as if it is the product of a single mind.
