One narrative theory is that Agents are social beings. Equidistant from Los Alamos and Roswell, the artist Walter de Maria places poles in the landscape in order to construct a grid. The land is not the setting for the work but a part of the work. The poles are angled at eighty-eight degrees else lightening always strikes twice. The primary experience takes place within the grid.
Weather is total.
One narrative theory is that social beings are agents. The grid is the imaginary frame by which it becomes possible to sense the spatial landscape. The grid dwarfs Agents, the grid in turn being dwarfed by the landscape, provoking Agents to realize their own relation to the spatial landscape. In that the grid itself cannot be comprehended in its totality, neither can the spatial landscape. Castles are sand that can't be shelter to kings.
