TID is an art installation that generates essentially a new project every time it is exhibited. This is due to the fact that at every showing, the participation of new people, the medium they choose to express themselves with, the context of their creation, and how art inspires them changes. Each event carries it's own subtitle, which is reflective of the location, time, and content of the installation.
