You Are Here is a two-channel video installation composed of a video projection and an LCD. The projection shows Death Valley's "Racetrack" lake bed with its mysterious moving rocks and their carved trails. The video was created by a camera mounted on a radio-controlled rover. The image's perspective is of an average boulder on the playa. The LCD is positioned on a stand in front of the projection and displays five animated text tableaux in a loop. The text appears letter-by-letter as if typed on a computer keyboard. The SynneScript™ font is copyright of the artists and was specially designed for the piece.
