Paula Poole and I spent the night in the light of this sculpture this
summer, and we could see it from over 17 kilometers away in the Silver
Island Mountains. CLUI has generously made the use of this land open to
residents of its Wendover program (see www.clui.org). It would be
interesting to see Rhizomer's take it on as a problem or an opportunity
in future years; because not only does the site traverse the
virtual/real problem in an interesting way, (it is so remote and in such
a hostile environment that it is certainly experienced as media, mapping
and data more so than as site), it is also a potentially nice foil to
help break the "urban" cliche attached to "locative media". The lands
surrounding it are mostly public. It also has a history of artistic
mediations related to it. Mohne has done a great installation in this
special place - it is the only artificial light visible for many miles
surrounding the remote location.
