KYT "Too bad they're not taping because I have questions I want to ask you."
Off-camera voice: "Go ahead, we're taping." KYT "Really? Because I heard, you know, from what I read, that you use many different means to make your statement-you know, multimedia and all that--and is this the first time for you to use wood and wool to...?" DC "Yep! I'm jumping into something I know nothing about, absolutely" KYT "But that's what's interesting. So you don't want to repeat yourself, in other words?" DC "Oh, I'll never do this again!" KYT "Because each time it's a new journey, a new venture." DC "I don't think I've ever repeated myself. I mean, there's been some strategies that I keep using again, especially in the multimedia, of projection and working with layers. But the way I install, the materials I use, are always in relation to the concept, what it is that I want to be evoking. It's always different. And also, the space conjures to me what I want to work with. I'm very careful to listen to the space, and what to do in it, how to install it. So I may make a work that gets reinstalled many times, but it's always slightly different." KYT "Right, and this, when it's done, this will be your space? This entire room, right?" DC "It'll be like a place." KYT "Right...right."
DC "I'm going to be working, eventually, using--I don't have any here, the technician took them out--working with small eye--what are they called? Viewfinders from cameras and using them as monitors, so the monitor will be eye-sized, very small. And I'll probably--I'm thinking of--is embedding them, one in each plywood sheet, so that the viewer has to come right up close to the surface to look through it to see another image. And the image will be both real- time--I'm putting closed-circuit cameras in the space--of the viewer, so they'll be seeing themselves looking. But it will also, you know how in closed-circuit, if you go to Control [the Walker's Control Desk] here upstairs, they have a bank of monitors, and you can flip from view to view? So this will flip between taped--something that I'll be taping--and real time." KYT "It's almost like, as the audience is looking, admiring your work, he or she is also..." DC "...inside the work." KYT "That's right! And it's almost playing a joke on them, too. You, as the creator, you also want to get them in."
