所有可能的未来,动画,3分51秒,2019
All Possible Futures, animation, 3’51’’, 2019

景观象征着指引当代叙事的永恒历史。惠腾伯格借此象征提出景观是一个网络的隐喻,沿着各个物种的无数条时间线存储和移动数据。景观的网络既反映出宏观过程的影响,比如进化,又反映出微观过程的影响,比如战争、移民和发展。展出的作品通过景观的故事探讨了众多宏观和微观关系。惠腾伯格的意图是去接纳令人压抑的无能为力,理解时间的永不停歇、空间和材料与此时此刻的关系。
The landscape is a symbol of timeless histories directing contemporary narratives. Whittenberger uses this symbolism to create metaphors of the landscape as a network, storing and moving data along the innumerable timelines of all species. The network of the landscape indexes the impacts of macro processes, such as evolution, and micro processes, such as war, migration, and development. The work explores the myriad of macro/micro relationships throughout the story of the landscape. Whittenberger’s intention is to embrace the overwhelming inability to understand the ceaselessness of time, space, and material, in relation to the present.
