Mobius Selections from Timeline
Stacy Pershall speaks of her work: "Timeline is an examination of what we know about memory scientifically and instinctively; intellectually and emotionally. Timeline is a place where art is informed by the language of science, and science by the language of art. Sink is a kinetic environment in which marbles are dropped repeatedly into a freestanding sink in the center of the room. This station was also inspired by a game, one my cousin and I used to play, in which we would call one another on the phone and make sounds using objects in our homes. The person on the other end had to guess the objects that created the sound. One sound of which my cousin was particularly fond was the noise marbles made when dropped into the bathroom sink. Of course, he always did that one, so I always guessed it, and came to regard it as a signal that the game was beginning. In the universe in which that memory has continued, the room is full of marbles, and they just keep dropping, one after another, into the same sink, and pouring out onto the floor."
