Nathan Wright's final thesis is titled "Miscellaneous Earth". It comprises 11 videos, and 11 still images. It also includes one large foldable poster-map, printed on Epson Singleweight Matte, with an Epson 9900, 36x44 inches, which serves as the written thesis (see Written Theses series for the entry and location).
From the artist's statement: "Miscellaneous Earth is a multichannel video installation exploring our spatial and technological dissociation from the landscape of collective memory. It presents a panoramic window onto a world in motion. Views of New Jersey and Eastern Europe, fragments of the present and past, are incorporated into a tenuous whole. Scanning, searching, and surveilling, Miscellaneous Earth rehearses the struggle of an individual to locate oneself in the immense and uncertain contemporary landscape."
