How does a grain of rice come to be? Installed as a horizontal strip, an assemblage of images, graphics, and text spatialize temporalities that emerge from and enact modes of production and exchange. It presents times within times: the time of technologies; time of a calendar; time of matter; and time of memory.
Spatially framed within a passageway, the installation cannot be viewed in its entirety from any single position without distortion. Rather, it invites viewers to travel in time, occupy multiple positions, zoom in and out of fragments, and trace new connections.
Installed at UCSC Digital Arts Research Center; Supported in part by Porter College and Florence French Fund
