Horvitz spread the word by sending 100 fliers to a friend in Brazil who handed them out to random young people.

[13][14] In 2013, he created The Distance of a Day (two digital videos, 12 minutes each), an installation showing sunset and sunrise from opposite points on the globe, near Los Angeles and in the Maldives respectively, recorded at the same moment.

[21][22][23] The piece was performed again in 2016 for the 10th anniversary of “Sequences”, Reykjavík's biennial festival of “real time art”.

Andrew Berardini described the work as creating "some weird uncrossable divide...The mere suggestion of a demarcation forces our moves".

[28] In 2016, David Horvitz hired a pickpocket to place sculptures in the pockets of attendees of the annual Frieze Art Fair.
