Presents Marcus Young: "20010624newyork0722"

Franklin Furnace is proud to present Marcus Young's web project "20010624newyork0722." Marcus Young is an artist in residence in Franklin Furnace's THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2001 series, hosted by Parsons School of Design, Digital Design Department.
"20010624newyork0722" is a web installment of moving images that, mostly empty, disquiets our traditional notions of time. The work asks for careful observation and contemplation of the smallness and allness of our world. Through three video shorts of science and pseudo-science, we revisit a mystery about the sun, an intersection in New York City, and three faces of the moon.
"200101-07days199906B" is a month's worth of observatory images of the spinning sun paired with found sound from around New York. "20010716astor10003" is a study of the intersection at Astor Place and Lafayette Street over the course of a typical day. Between moon and mask, East and West, "00000phases11111" is an elusive invention of choreographed winks and kisses.
The work centers
around the following myth:
There once lived a man who had no sense of time.
He never grew up nor grew old.
He was not young and never born.
He spent his days watching the changing sky and his
nights with his companion the moon.
It was not until many centuries later that we
realized we should pity and honor him.
