“Desire Lines”

Batchen’s idea that space and time can be crossed by a shared tactile act, implies that sight and touch may become one. If you were to walk through a drawing, your touch would shift the materials, seeing moments of construction through video projection. If music were to be rendered as lines of reverb in a flat plane, this work would come close to what it would look like, along with the potential to encounter similar drawings in the city. This project allows construction, alteration and disappearance to simultaneously occupy the same time and space. Real-time, recorded time, and fragmented time collide in these simultaneous installations: Absence/presence replete opens a dynamic temporal depth.
