Event/Horizon explores the vast proliferation of predictive practices within the Anthropocene —an epoch supposedly marked by the impossibility of scientific forecasts— wherein a limitless hunger for the calculation of “future” (future-price, future-crime, future-climate, future-use, future-wish, and so on) turns against itself and renders its lucrative scientific models vessels for cheerful superstition.

Turrell’s celestial vault collapses the sky onto the earth — the earth into an artificial crater. A negative space, blind to Mercator’s projection, in which vectors lose their capacity for territorial navigation.

Within this off-shore vault, Event/Horizon hallucinates models for investment, casted into pictorial, anachronistic divinations that allude to far-gone narrations. An imprint of an extra-celestial body — echos of vast warfare, amplify oratory melodies of other-earthly vibrations.

Event/Horizon is mentored by Confusion of Tongues.
