Untitled is an offshoot of Staehle’s earlier work Empire 24/7, which presented a live feed—capturing a still image every four seconds–of the Empire State Building in New York City from the New York office of The Thing, the online community founded by Staehle in 1991.
Empire 24/7 was shown at ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany as a part of the 1999 exhibition “net_condition.”
