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 progress through the seven spaces, and which,
through narration, transcends the ties of space, gravity and
time.
