For parts two and three of her highly referential 3D video trilogy, artist Ann Lislegaard filters her consuming mind-and-matter explorations about time, space, and human cognition through the otherworldly science fiction of J.G. Ballard and Ursula K. Le Guin. Projected on two screens, the Ballard-burnished The Crystal World loops animation about a modernist, jungle-stationed glass hotel (à la Lina Bo Bardi's Glass House) that undergoes — ever so slowly — a crystalline metamorphosis. Meanwhile, the three-channel Le Guin composition, Left Hand of Darkness, imagines the author's icy planet where androgynous humanoids reside as Lislegaard stacks the novel's pages atop another and puts gyrating, rotoscopic imagery alongside drawings of male and female genitalia.
