The piece takes the form of "constellations" of text in place of stars. The text appears on 4x6" cards against a black background with speckled white to indicate "space"; white lines suggest an assembly which corresponds to a map with instructions. However, the same instructions encourage user agency in how to assemble and navigate the work—flipping through the cards in a numbered sequence, or in a random sequence, or assembling them according to the map, or assembling them as they, the audience, see fit.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
