To access the Odyssey exhibition The Accidental Artist: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Odyssey/48/12/22 Yamantaka http://www.alansondheim.org/ yamantaka series - yam jpgs, yamantak.mp4 Compression's terrible. Emptiness lasts thirty seconds, up from twenty; I'm not sure how many meters define the zone of influence. The stills indicate the layout. This is a plateau of sorts. There's nothing beyond this, only another direction. In the full video, Julu touches the sphere, heads beneath the water. There she searches, finds another sphere, rises once again to the surface or ground floor of the exhibition. What's in the basement is debris from movement, i.e. debris tracking Julu's movement on the surface or beneath the surface. What's above is the absence of debris tracking Julu's movement on the surface or beneath the surface. There's no way to adequately compress the enormous detail involved in the exhibition. You can move or fly through the exhibition, experience emptiness, clarity, in untoward terms. You can forget the terms. You can do all sorts of things but you can do better than this.
