None of the Above, 2021-22
audio/video installation
4K (16 x 9) audio/video installation projected in portrait/vertical orientation. The minimum vertical dimension is 10 ft (305 cm). The artist recites a reflexive text in real-time that playfully feeds back on itself between the absolute values of ones and zeros. As hand movements allude to the idiomatic triad—see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil—a visceral portrait emerges from an evolving loop aggressively cut with overlapping patterns of time displacement.

one less one
un-less
lossless
one loss, one less
the lessons of one
lost on none
nonetheless
no one knows
one from one
an "n" number of ones
change the words
zero from none
stop
one stops
stop gap
every breath
stopped out
one breathes
it’s always the same
zero-sum game
points
vanishing
one at a time
the arrows fly
Eros dies
a rose enfolds
zeroing in
every other round
turns inside out
my hand is backwards
you're in the wrong position
it’s always the same
difference
one, zero
next to next
the next ex
exists
exactly
as if ex could occlude "act"
ex acts like ex
exes' exit
one ext out
of existence
stop
one stops
breathe
one breath
stop gap
it’s always the same
difference
between points
one wanders
end to end
begin to begin
change the words
around arrows
crossing zero
one wonders (the won-der of one)
no-won-der
let the brain breathe
your hand is backwards
I'm in the wrong words
turn-a-round
zero on its head
the inside part
he can see her own face
disappear
one of the ones is not here
