Images from the Arena opening, Uqbar, Debris Field, Second Life
During the opening the environment constantly changed; objects were given weight and dropped. It was oddly symbolic; many of them landed on build- ings in the area. Later I reconstructed the chains that went up to the 4k level. The number of invisible or phantom objects increased as well. Sandy Baldwin performed and added text fragments. One of my avatars performed; the other was up in the clouds. The worse my vision gets (it's bad now), the more the visible becomes a sign of hysteria or transference. This landscape appears almost self-gen- erating; architecture has long since disappeared or become a remnant of something else growing, flooding land and sea and air. It's the old story - chaos or mess or messay, life out of control, but everything delibera- ted, deliberate, calculating, everything waiting for their day in the artificial sun. http://www.alansondheim.org/ arenaopening jpgs (The show comes down early tomorrow evening NY time.
