The System is complete

You may remember a post back at the end of September where I showed some cryptic white objects, which I claimed would become time travel devices... Well, those objects are now complete, and I have a few photos from the studio to show their progress:


The main console with cartridges stacked on top.


Main console and cartridges.


3 cartridges for loading into the console (one for future, one for past, one for found-images)


Demonstrating the image loader.


Box of custom rulers for analyzing found-images.


All 12 of the rulers (screen printed on painted wood).


The Scope, complete with rotating arms.

Included with The System are an instruction manual and a travel log, but I'll feature them in another post. Keep an eye out for them...

The System - Coming February 2009 - Commercial 3

I am pleased to share this third of three videos promoting my new body of art work. The System is a time travel console and instruction manual, to be promoted by my new character, Valerie Hartman. In February 2009, I will be presenting an installation and performance piece where Valerie promotes The System as a means of regaining control in one's life. Stay tuned!
