View Has Happened
Has Happened takes Total Information Awareness past its logical conclusion, imagining a world where Paul Virilio’s “time accident” has already occurred (/is occurring): where past, present and future calamities merge into an ongoing crisis of history itself. News clips are continuously pulled from a database and layered, while the ticker assembles a continuous sentence out of selections from Virilio’s Unknown Quantity.
A series of automatic drawings created using the bumps and jostling of a crowded city bus. A pen was placed at the center of a sheet of paper upon entering the bus, allowing the motion of the bus ride itself to create a map of the journey in which traffic, passenger crowding, route, etc. are combined onto one plane.
News clips randomly sequenced by computer algorithm (2002).
