Item description: East of Fallon, Highway 50, Nevada, is an installation work involving kinetic sculpture, video projection and streaming video on the internet.

"The intent is to create what is essentially a simulated experience in the form of a contemplative, filmic moment, that of endlessly driving a car at night on a section of "America’s Loneliest Highway". This work exists both as a functional, physical installation of miniature modelling, video and kinetic sculpture and as a transmitted image via the internet. The video being created by the piece is being streamed, live, on the internet in real-time. The result being a looping path of image, motion and simulation created through an absurdly convoluted use of technology with the ultimate goal of sublime simplicity." - Joseph DeLappe
