New and recent works perform an intricate choreography in reaction to multiple stimuli, some as ineffable asthe passage of time or shifts in barometric pressure, others as shocking and urgent as climactic change. Thetransparent acrylic Clock (2023) with its multiple faces animated by gears controlled by a DMX box, adheresto the forward propulsion of time, yet stutters and shifts according to changes in the atmosphere. The video, The Owl in Daylight (2020)—never before exhibited in the U.S.—imagines a CGI-animated waterscapein which light and vapour and a fugitive city appear and disappear algorithmically in concert with actual climacticfluctuations. Part weather station, part imaginary world, this digital work pays homage to the last, unfinished,eponymously titled novel by sci-fi author Philip K. Dick, situated in an alien world without sound that considersthe cacophony of Earth as a kind of heaven. The video’s generative soundtrack was conceived by composerand sound engineer Nicolas Becker to blend naturalistic noises with abstract echoes of our tech-drivenlandscape. Also included are Parreno’s heliostat sculptures, which capture the movement of sunlight to thenreflect it onto a stationary point, transmitting solar energy in the process. Installed in the gallery, they willfunction as clocks of the room, partnering with the large acrylic timepiece to map the steady melt of time.
