The dizzying, vivid and multi-layered artworks in Karu Shao’s “Record: You Are The Dust In The Space” have a revelatory quality that suggests passages and transitions from one state of being to another. Remember the psychedelic fugue at the end of Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey”? It’s like that. Like we’re looking through a tunnel that bores through the walls of space-time. As we move forward, bits of the old world are peeled back, revealing some vivid new way of being, and seeing.
