This project is an extension and adaptation of Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s “Untitled (Loverboy)”. In his stacks of limitless square sheets of pale blue paper, which visitors were encouraged to take away, Gonzalez-Torres developed a practice of public participation, open interpretation, and mobile adaptation of the work of art, and evolved the cool, intellectual stances of minimalism [...]

We know there is potentially useful data in an almost infinite number of situations. Data that may be fleeting and difficult to gather and interpret, but interesting despite, or because of, this difficulty.
