For their interactive performance installation "Swamp of Sagittarius" at Hidden Bar in the Nova Section of the Miami Beach Convention Center, they brought in their artist-astrologer friends Marty Windahl and Morgan Rehbock to divine the financial futures related to the contemporary art market of folks visiting the fair.
