3.) Flags: "When a digital camera is placed close to a computer screen we can discover a new disharmony. The intersection of the limits of the devices - the camera’s zoom and the screen’s resolution - creates blurry images. Having world flags on the screen to which the camera moves too close reminds the problem of having physically distinct but politically blurry borders between nations." - Burak Arikan

Notes from Tara Donovan talk 2/27/10: "I work more like a scientist or an architect"; forget unwieldy materials as you would forget "old boyfriends"; Donovan's assistants operate a sort of knitting circle (think opposite of Richard Serra); pieces are installed like a musical score or dance is performed; materials are not an environmental commentary; Greek vases used to be trash.  Haze.
