By situating the “self” beyond the expected, familiar, intertwined visual conventions of the camera, cinema & moving images —- and into what theorist
Benjamin Bratton defines in his seminal text as THE STACK —-
9:41 a/pm: ME , MY GPS(elves) & i —- is a post-cinematic art object
that addresses, defines & objectifies that aforementioned self —- within our contemporary mobile-media saturated milieu — as both a physico-virtual “body”
AND “space” that fixedly & continuously motions as AND through the Stack(s)... of User(s), Interface(s), Address(es), City(ies), Cloud(s), Earth(s)
With a 5.9 mile, 20+minute drive as a scant narrative backbone,
9:41 a/pm: ME , MY GPS(elves) & i uses mobile apps as combinations of
lenses + gauges + sensors —- L E N G A U S O RS —- that weigh, spotlight , absorb
& externalize this SELF — this physico-virtual, body space-object —- that is,
for starters, on any shiny surface, at least @ first --- a mere dot on the screen
