Desert ECH0000000 – United States

Desert ECH0000000 is a site-specific video performance recorded during an artist residency at High Desert Test Sites in Joshua Tree, California. This work emerged from an immersive engagement with the landscape, where movements through the desert were captured and mediated using a camera and customized software. It invokes the concept of quantum branching—the idea that every event with multiple possible outcomes gives rise to parallel universes.
