- They needed a TV and a PlayStation 2 but not a shower or TV? Were they holding "meetings" whenever they played games on the PS2? Not a lot in the article about their art, unless it solely consists of their seeing how long they could secretly live at the mall.

- Townsend said he and seven other artists built the dwelling in a 750-square-foot loft in the mall's parking garage four years ago. The artists would live in the apartment for up to three weeks at a time while documenting mall life. Video shot by Townsend shows that the apartment was furnished with a sofa and love seat, coffee and breakfast tables, chairs, lamps, a waffle iron, a TV and Sony PlayStation 2. However, there was no running water, so dwellers had to use the mall's restrooms. The apartment was concealed because it was built with a cinder block wall and a nondescript utility door. Last week, Townsend and a visiting artist from Hong Kong were surprised when they walked into the room and were greeted by security guards. Townsend pleaded no contest to a trespassing charge and said he has no ill will towards mall officials.

- sounds to me as though mall security was pretty lax, the area was practically abandoned as far as the mall ownership was concerned and most of all once they were discovered the ownership and security were like spoiled children about the whole ordeal by pressing charges; basically saying 'that's mine you can't play with it.'
the bizarre thing is that it went on for four years. How long does it take someone to 'get it' as far as what they are pondering, searching or dwelling on as far as his 'reasons for doing it.'
Oh well, fun habits are hard to break.
