the poetics of absurdity

The idea of the shows comprising some sort of time travel functionality was not originally my intention, but as I thought more on the idea, my interests in both science and science fiction began to show.

RED NOTEBOOK p3:

"WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO HAVE TWO SHOWS IN ONE (AGAIN)?

1) The mock heroic overtones of "going above and beyond"- doing twice as much as the next guy. A showmanship based on unnecessary excesses. Working twice as hard as the last guy, though the "work" might be anything but.

2) Beyond the cheap hype factor of (1) there is a concern for the general dynamics of utilizing entire exhibitions as implements in a larger work or process. The very question- 'WHY?' opens onto a fertile garden of conjecture.

3) Utilizing the conceptual dynamics of (2) in a temporal fashion begins to poke hopefully toward a speculative model for TIME TRAVEL. The viewer of 'Exhibit B' will become a test subject in the possibility of collapsed dimensionalities- a collapse fueled by the poetics of absurdity!"
