Description

A Fixed Luminous Point consists of invented definitions of words that don’t exist and diagrammatic drawings. The definitions and drawings build on each other, describing the world moving through varying time scales. Energy, colour, sound, and chance emerge leading to recognizable forms like forests, animals, houses, and factories. As the world becomes transformed by human activity, there is instability, disorientation, and loss. As time passes all things continue to emerge and disappear from points in space.
