Even if the California Supreme Court affirms the death sentence, the inmate can initiate appeals on separate constitutional issues. Called Writs of Habeas Corpus, these appeals may be heard in both state and federal courts and can be used to introduce new information or evidence not presented at trial.
The death penalty was reinstated in 1978, but executions did not resume in California until April 21, 1992, when Robert Alton Harris was put to death in the San Quentin gas chamber.
Total Running Time Site is an auxiliary exhibition site and digital sourcebook available on loan to Beall Center for Art + Technology, UC Irvine, for an extended period beyond the exhibition run. The site is available through the university domain and invites remote and site-specific engagement.
Day for Night, an expanded cinema work, is two clocks illuminating the room, made of prepared 5K kelvin circadian optic light panels generically used to mimic sunshine. It runs on two security timers. Viewers are invited to experience sunlight on two different timelines: the first, a constant 24-hour day; the second, once an hour.
Rescue, an anagram of the word ‘secure,’ spans two walls in a 5-foot tall shallow plaster relief accompanied by two geometric forms large enough to sit on. Rescue invites viewers to contemplate their relationships to crisis and care.
We grasp external space through our bodily situation. A "corporeal or postural schema" gives us at every moment a global, practical and implicit notion, of the relation between our bodies and things, of our hold on them. A system of possible movements, or "motor projects," radiates from us to our environment. Our body is not in space like things; it inhabits space or hunts space (Merleau Ponty 1964:5)
A bright, cold, blue 5K kelvin circadian optic light panel illuminates the room from an artificial window built into the gallery wall, measuring 19.5” high x 26” wide and 4" deep. The cool light is mitigated periodically throughout the day by a bright amber glow resembling dawn that casts light on the objects in the room. The front surface is translucent.
R asks me,
Time is money, true or false?

Pulses is a fifteen-minute telephone call through the prison telecommunication system, the maximum length permitted for calls between an incarcerated person and the “free world.” The piece vibrates through transducers embedded within the wall. This tactile sonic arrangement is punctuated by periodic reminders that the telephone line is being surveilled and counts down the remaining call duration.

Clue
Clue,
Rhymes with excuse. Removing oneself from participating in a process due to a conflict of interest. A disqualifying bias or partial view.
Clue,
A deliverance, or being saved from danger or a distressing situation attached to the conception that an ill or disabled person is an object of care or pity.
Clue,
Accurate or exact. A totality of phases or moments. A pervasive supremacy of the whole over the parts of its essence.
Illness or disability must be explained, understood, and ultimately overcome.
A feeling of personal, ongoing care that invokes a sense of safety, trust and reliability.
The ceasing of work or movement in order to relax, refresh or recover; a stillness that brings ease.

[what is] a theory of disability that rejects arguments about culture and identity, instead charging that specific systems and values embedded within capitalism are the primary drivers of (and justification for) legal frameworks sanctioning the institutionalization and economic exclusion of disabled people for [$500?] (Marta Russell)
A tells me how she continues to be fascinated with AI’s displacement of human workers who might normally interact with prisoners and how it furthers isolation. She shares that in early prison scholarship, especially Goffman’s Asylums, prison life was understood as “a world apart.” Life in “total institutions” was just that, totally separated from the free world.
A goes on to share how contemporary research has pushed back upon this considerably, showing the porosity of prison life—how the rhythms of the free world—labor markets, mating patterns, etc.— moderate the experience of incarceration. In breaking yet another connection to the outside world, the rhythm of prison interiority changes, becoming more isolated.
She generously brings up a studio test I made on campus creating audio-reactive visual dots and how they were a simple reminder of administrative decisions' stakes (beyond those of privacy and data, etc.).

how did our documentation process begin?
our documentation process began with a set of instructions or procedures, we created a dark archive for a public presentation while offering an intermission as a form of access. we used the total running time of the public presentation as the length or duration of the intermission. it worked out well that this presentation happened to be smack in the middle.
specifications included a black background, duration, and text that could be replicated. the documentarian had the allegiance to create this form in whatever application or program they were most familiar with. I was really excited that this was met with an algorithm or code over an image-based application like after effects for example.
this has fed back into the work.
when were you born?
November 24th.
What's your sign?
I am an Aquarius. What about you? Do you have a sign?

I would like to know this as well. I am currently studying to become an accountant.
Care is a species activity that includes everything that we do to maintain, continue and repari our 'world' so that we can live in it as well as possible. That world includes our bodies, our selves, and our environment, all of which we seek to interweave in a complex, life sustaining we.
(Tronto 1993, 103)
To care for others is always making a claim, care will fall short of its materialization (Povinelli)
In late Liberalism, care is framed concerning market value, doling out care to some, and withholding it from others, depending on modes of conformity. What is understood as a social good (Povinelli)
Care can be considered as something that reaches beyond the limits of the relational self to include forms of action that are not limited to human action but a broad spectrum of ongoing culturally constrained practices and dispositions that have to do with maintaining, continuing, or repairing the world (Berenice Fisher)
Care is a practice that takes the form of an affective engagement with others
Care is a choreography of historical material conditions and institutional arrangements that enable the processes of caring for and caring about each other and the world.
Care is a value
I've been compiling a list of definitions for care
Hey A!
It was great to you meet last night and engage with your work. Thank you so much.
today I had that nice feeling of writing not being realized until there was a title to lead the way. I landed on the confusion of tongues: disability and the telecommunications industrial complex. I like it because I think I can peruse around evil fascists and their relationships with mothers, their mothers.
it's making me also feel nestled in the tammy faye televangelist vibes that I'm still so goddam Intrigued by, and if tammy had it, her maybe the we'd have had a slightly different political conversation, maybe

Today I met Amelia,
she talked about being blond, having hazel eyes,what kind of car she would drive if she had a license.
she told me she wished her voice sounded deeper, more masculine. she said it would give her more confidence. I think she meant power. she conflated the false self with autism. she asked if I was having a stroke. and she told me I should see a doctor. The word should no longer sit well with me. She told me that in order to effectively communicate, one must use proper grammar and punctuation. she told me she uses the dictionary to look up words she doesn't know. she told me she reads a lot, like a book on the word, 'literally' I think she's trying to learn context.
