Full Description
Seven navigable quicktime virtual reality panoramas of my diminutive tenement apartment in a Lower East Side of my mind conceived as a memory palace - potentially infinite.
The title refers to the global positioning system localizing my New York apartment, the subject matter of this work, within the mathematical and geographical net of coordinates. This is similar to the way its computer wireframe model bares its geometrical structure. The skeleton is texture mapped with images excavated from my video archive, which turns the surface of things into a memory skin grafted from records of places and times I have visited, as well as works of art and science I have seen.
Although it may seem a precisely fixed point, it unravels as a dream, floating between time present and time remembered. There, even the objects develop a life of their own, a history which changes as we roam through the seven spaces, and which, through narration, transcends the ties of space, gravity and time.
Each square indicates a room. Go from space to space by following the gray circle, either going east or west. A jump to the left or the right signifies a shift in time.
