THE CIRCULATION THAT SPANS THE DEPTHS OF WURSTER HALL GRANTS THE PRECIEVED NOTION OF DEJAVU. WROUGHT FROM THIS REPETIVNESS COMES A UNIFYING SINGULAR PATH – A FAMILIAR VOID OUT OF AN UNFAMILIAR CHAOS. PREPETUATING THE FEELINGOF DEJAVU WHEN THIS SHAPE INTERACTS OVER AGAIN UPON ITSELF – WHEN THREE PATHS INTERSECT AND BECOME A “HOLE”-THE DOUBLE NEGATIVE IS BORN.
