[To Twist the Course of Signs]
interweaves archival images, surveillance footage, and language into a layered system, an oracle awaiting contact.
While a spinning sphere turns, gestures of control and transmission ripple outward, connecting ancient symbols with machines, and satellites with vapor.
The ancient hieroglyph of the “ka”, symbol of eternal wandering. A hand, the part of the body that has the function of making, receiving, or manipulating. Arms on the keyboard, as the gesture of controlling a machine; searching, sending, spying, moving, erasing, activating other machines.
Repetition and circular motion translate into the casting of a spell, to twist the existing course of the flow of information, becoming the key to a secret code.
