Margins is a small exploration in navigation, space, typography and minimalism. Originally conceived as a cd-rom / installation, what is shown here is a sketch of the unrealised piece. The work was an essay of sorts dealing with time / space.

One hundred sentences formed in such a way as to be able to combine with any other sentence in any combination. These sentences are randomely generated into essays using each sentence once. Each essay is depicted in one continous line, one after the other, and so forms what resembles a time line which can be scrolled backward and forward. Each essay is a piece of time or an existence, unique yet all the same, one giving birth to another, continually.

Questions arise such as is there a back and a forward, do these correspond to left and right and why. Why is the time linear and can it be looked at differently. All of these and more are tackled in the work and need to be discovered by exploration. In cd-rom mode the work is controlled by the displacement of the mouse. As an installation in a gallery the work is controlled by the displacement of people in the space.
