About this Event
The turning of a wheel, the turning that iterates the wheel, the grinding that grinds the wheel to a stop. Motion after all matter ceases. A dissipating vibration and a force that is still—so that there may be vibration. All of it and none of it sufficiently speaks. It becomes a horizon that approaches and then is surpassed. Its surpassing reveals a sphere, or moreso, the motion of a sphere.
As I watched her pass I saw this horizon, and then I saw its passing. And then our distance from her passing, which, after several beats (heart beats or human seconds?) vanished into a spiral. Since then, there have been so many beats that their distance is calculated by the fact of their presence, so that in the present I am as near to her as I am far.
The past compressed—her journey, my journey. It compressed into me.
I see wheels everywhere as I ride my bike. Hubcaps, more specifically. Circular perforations in their metallic surfaces watch me, like eyes. I pass them by the side of the road, sometimes whole, usually fractured. Traces of a cataclysmic event. The particles produced by an atomic collision, which evidence the force that determines their mass. A motor, a spindle, a hip socket.
For a moment, they are recovered, in my picking them up. What remains when everything is stripped away. The asymptotic present: the wheel, the sphere, and the horizon—surpassing.
Remote Viewing is an installation with CNC-fabricated, found, and electronic objects that present the virtual as material.

Charlotte G. Chin Greene received their MFA in Sculpture from the Tyler School of Art & Architecture in 2021. Their research- and process-based practice studies time, machines, modes of sensing and perceiving, and the global flow of material, utilizing digital fabrication tools and the practice of gleaning.
