In this installation, a video monitor and stones are wedged between railroad ties, which are permeated with the lingering scent left by years of leaking fuel. The worn ties evoke the golden age of trains that dominated the mechanical era that followed the Industrial Revolution. The video monitor displays images of the railroad ties themselves, poetically expressing the collision between the mechanical and digital ages as well as their shifting hegemonies.
