Theodore Sefcik

BASEMENT

Sefcik addresses the viewer’s sense of morality, tolerance for violence, math skills and attention span using representations of microbes, worms, lizards, spiders, crustaceans, wooden dancers, pachinko machines, Cuisinarts, butter churns, Lotto machines, and several unidentified objects. The elements tumble and squeeze - forced into the path of least resistance and expelled. Each view screen illustrates how information can be scattered, split up, or scrambled, but ultimately never destroyed. Given the right equipment, and enough time in a quality laboratory, a team of talented scientists could completely reconstitute the scattered ashes of a burned novel, and fix the typos as well.

Nothing can be lost, its all right there, in a different form, if you look very closely, you can see it, and if you're willing to, let it come through.
