What we are first confronted with (at least those of us located at the
"actual" site) is two seemingly dead (appropriately) white
fragmented larger than life body-images, embedded in multiple
blocks of concrete. The chip covered flesh lies back down, "bits" of
arm extended above their respective heads, almost touching. We are
invited to step toward/on the concrete figures. White noise fills the
air. Upon looking more closely we begin to see words covering the
reclining forms. Two singularities, no longer speaking, yet still being
spoken through, language, (pre)occupied, interpolated in their
discursive(ly reconstructed) space. Hailed ourselves, we bend down
to read, interfacing with the silicon(ed) (no)bodies on their silicate
base, and the sound becomes more clear ... cybersleaze and legalese,
Habeas Corpus, timely reminders of the political battles being waged
in the struggle to colonize "new frontiers." A hauntingly familiar
story.
