General Hospital is all in your head. General Hospital is the world we live in.
It is the place where pictures drift up from your memory and stories rattle around
in your head. It is where you go when you are sick and the location of where things
get fixed. Sometimes it is an emergency. Sometimes you just want to talk to someone.
Pictures spark associations. Words remind you of what you have to do. Associations are
made in the brain. They link a bunch of random details into something that makes sense.
Your words float out into the ether of electronic space. It's kind of like science fiction
or something.
The expanded January 1996 version of General Hospital is presented in conjunction with "Of Sound Mind," an exhibition at New Langton Arts in San Francisco. Both the exhibition installation and website will evolve over the next six weeks.
