Do You Know the Way to Mokelumne ?    2007

Water, digital prints, display case, water cooler, potted plants, single channel video projection.

An installation investigating the smear of data available to me concerning the water coming out of my faucet (source, runoff, treatment, etc). The Participant is greeted by the image of a vial on the back of a display case.  The vial contains water from my faucet and is labeled with the contaminants found when I had it tested at a lab.  On the other side rows of identical vials lines the shelves of the display.  A projection on wall prompts the participant to play an animated video. The walls are lined with information I discovered while investigating the source of my water. I removed identifying text from the data visualization; the result is a colorful abstraction that approximates significance through a poetry of symbols without index.
