Coinciding with the run-up to the election more than 100 artists created the ART vs Art Campaign including posters, window installations, and nightly performances in the VideoCabaret at the Cameron House. The ground floor tavern and second floor studio were wired for sound and video so that Tom Tube, hosting from the second floor, could present his guests in the most appropriate way: i.e. advocates, electoral candidates, and other ‘talk show’ guests in the studio; musicians, poets, and other performers on the tavern stage. Two cameras hovered the studio, three cruised the stage.

Hummer for Mayor refers to the posters, videotapes, press conferences and street performances created by the Hummer “political” team (nearly co-existent with the Hummer “art” team) directly related to press and television coverage, i.e. campaigning. Tapes produced for television, and ensuing television coverage, were re-worked into the Cabaret each night, sometimes hot off the air. A Hummer received 12,000 votes.
