Sightline#2, Profile
Work ID: 71798
Description: Hart House Common, University of Toronto, 1984.
A behavioral installation: a line sighted from a point on ¿the path of learned mortals¿ finds the sculptural objects in alignment with each other, and with the tip of the CN Tower, as it proceeds off into deep space. The tower and satellites are thus denoted as the minions of digital communication in the dawning of the information age. Can the view perceive that they are also trapped in the alignment?
