A highly visible, super-stylish art video in the form of Doug Aitken\u2019s seven screen projection, Sleepwalkers, which began screening nightly outside MoMA in mid-January. Times critic Roberta Smith concisely summarized the effect as \u201cdazzling and a bit bloodless.\u201d But considering that New York magazine anticipated this to be the \u201cmost seen show in MoMA\u2019s history,\u201d and the fact that the museum reported over two and a half million visitors last year, that\u2019s a huge audience for Aitken\u2019s film, without a doubt making it the hottest show in town.
