through space,
as a collective/as an individual
the impossibly large vs. the very small
ephemeral vs. "permanent"
fantastic vs. realizable
internal vs. external
animating the inanimate
function
displacement
through performance
activating potential energy
handmade / mechanical
precious / devalued
benign vs violent / aggressive
mutable states - liquid/solid/gas
visualizing the invisible
weather
season
time of day
information / misinformation
