“The Net is a metaphysical space that mimics our metaphysical experience of the dead as being neither here nor there but somehow everywhere yet nowhere in particular.”(Gibson, 2007).

Everywhere yet nowhere in particular explores instances of digital ghosts, infomorphs, and objects left online by people who have died. Three video collages and one sound collage stitch together the remaining bits of these people / infomorphs.

Materials: church pews, wooden boxes, computer monitors, sound.
