A speed ramp between quotidian rhythms and accelerating consumerism materializes in the endless mirror of lakes and rivers, the windshield of a city bus, and the ever-expanding physical infrastructure of cloud computing. Superimposing tradition and transformation, layers of space and time transmute water into data at the velocities of slow-growth lichen and break-neck scrolling.
A woman in Minneapolis reflects on becoming a new mom in the upheavals of 2020 through a seemingly banal object: cardboard. Combining stop motion animation with live action, this essay unpacks the messiness of everyday life through the desires both revealed and hidden when we open the box.
