A show of commissioned works opening simultaneously around the world.

For the PDF show, the curators, whyandwherefore.com, asked each of the artists to respond to their medium, PDFs, specifically how digital work can be infinitely and exactly reproduced. Each was also invited to interrogate the idea of worldwide, collective action connected to the simultaneous, international openings.
