Description

Line is an imaginal and textual narrative simultaneously existing in several media: 1. An internet site tracks an intimate electronic relationship between two net users: one an artist who works online and physically located in Australia, and another a salaryman physically located in Japan who uses the net for corporate pursuits. 2. A gallery installation consisting of a laser beam intersecting a wall mounted book of intimate interwoven photographic architectural images from urban, industrial and rural landscapes in Australia and Japan, functioning as symbols for the emotional and physical ties to local geographical community, a real physicality which parallels their ethereal online communications.
