David Hart, Associate Media Producer, Digital Media at the MoMA:


  You can imagine how excited I was when we received the photos of sitters from Marina Abramović’s The Artist Is Present performance and discovered that installation photographer Marco Anelli had been keeping an unofficial minutes-per-participant tally. On a long car ride I decided to compile these and chart out some of the basic information.


Above:  Sitters by Duration and Date


  For each date, individual sitters are represented by a colored vertical bar, and that bar’s length represents their sitting time. The first sitter of each day is at the bottom of the chart, and the last is at the top.


Worth viewing full-size, along with a few more awesome graphs on MoMA’s Blog.
