The featured works of CJ Silva, Tanya Villanueva, Gail Vicente, and Marija Vicente explore concepts of temporal and societal dislocation, and the labor involved in tending the gardens of the multi-modal self.

CJ Silva’s “oombilicus” is an Internet-oriented intermedia installation engaging in meditations and reclamation of time. Using web-oriented media to create multiplicities of loops, stories, and experiences—it engages in a visualization of the intertextualities of cinema, animation, games, literature, and the internet.

Tanya Villanueva, Gail Vicente, and Marija Vicente’s “Beautiful Life Revenge” is a video work exhibiting the labor of mediating the self amongst past and present traumas, deep shadows, and loneliness. Comparing the struggle to that of a hard tending of a garden, bouts of tenderness make it known that a beautiful life is within reach with attentive care.
