story, 2002 (detail)
 

>> description:

Story explores the various layers of meaning which emerge from a single idea as it travels through an imperfect system of communication, that of text and language.

Words from the projected text are individually selected and transformed into a randomly selected synonym. Because of the varying length of each synonym, the text shifts to accommodate each emerging word, creating a constantly changing physical landscape that accompanies the continually changing syntactical one.

Story has also been exhibited with a video component as an installation work. more info
