garden of brick walls holding ponytail

by August Sklar

August creates sculptures and drawings from the garden. Through the splicing and joining of fragmented wood and paper pulp, their work creates a delicate and precarious cartoon world that betrays legibility and finds more comfort in the undefined. Through play, they collapse opposites and build parts into wholes, illuminating the sensual anthropomorphism in the undefined. 

Groundwave/ Skywave

by Celeste Martore, Luca Senise, Noah Toyonaga

A loop of wire captures a stream of light several orders of magnitude beyond the visible. Commonly, this is called a radio. Radio was not “invented” so much as it was found that an invisible field of light (with waves the size of a building) could be harnessed to transmit sound. In other words, radio is light, therefore it is spatial – its waves are large enough to register at distances we can walk through, under, and around.

By discretizing and reconfiguring the components of “a radio”, we spatialize an aesthetic of “radio”; a space which functions not as mere technology, but as a forgotten palette of light, space, and sound
