ELAINE GAN

THE GAMBLERS, 2009-10

Two-channel video that considers speculations about global futures and "solutions" to climate change.

Left channel presents a promotional video from Planetary Skin, a private-public partnership between NASA and CISCO launched in 2009 to "manage" environmental crises.

Right channel presents documentary footage of Tondo and Navotas in the Philippines. Video is silent.

Each is markedly absent from the other. Who speaks for whom? How might our inadequate systems of representation incite alternate futures?

Exhibited at In A Dangerous Manner, curated by Steven Lam and Sarah Ross at Spaces, OH
