"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"I recorded the sound of a very close gunshot and used that as the single source for a digital sound piece. The idea was to take that sound and work with a mathematician whose specialty was equations. We took the sound and morphed it into an 11-minute summer rainstorm that abruptly comes and then recedes off into the horizon. So after eleven minutes, and then ten seconds of silence, the gunshot goes off again."
