A STAND AGAINST TIME AND ENTROPY

Beyond the scope of all of our lives, a world continues. Bowhead whales born today may still be alive in the year 2250, exploring, singing their new songs, pursuing new relationships. In the panic of a world falling apart, can we contemplate time and lives beyond our imagining?

In a gilded labyrinth in a secret location, everything has been gathered and prepared for you.

This immersive installation explores the unfound. Visitors search the entanglement of mazes, finding what has always been absent until now.

THE BLACK BOX RECORDER

When the missing can't speak for themselves, we look for clues in the stories they left behind.

The Black Box Recorder recounts the riveting and hallucinatory stories about what happened on the journey. The various concurrent audio stories play different perspectives of the same story.

Audio could be played on headphones that are also masks or from lucite sound cones that only one person can hear.

A MIRACLE

The Miracle breathes and waits at the center of the labyrinth. In a space between the living and the ghosts it is a demigod made of mosses, breath, computation, circulating biological fluids, and the whispers of millions of people.

Most visitors will only hear about The Miracle. Those who find it will mostly only be able to watch. But a few people will be embraced in its tentacles and engaged in metaphysical conversation through its all-too-physical latex voicebox.

EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE

The viewer controls a sort of telescope that reveals the hidden order in the universe and our place in it. Does it offer a glimpse of space aliens, God, a view outside the simulation?

PERFECT LOVE

Things that seem simple from far away become treacherous forests up close.

We seek perfect love and seek to perfect the love we have. How would you recognize it if you found it? It means something different to each of us.

But when you enter the box, will you experience perfect love for the first time?
