Abstract: The work in progress, `You Are Here' is the first in a series of site-specific holographic installations dealing primarily with the representation of nature in contemporary culture. The work is experienced in three modes. The Site, the Non Sites, and the Event. A beach on the northeastern coast of Australia is the main site where a stereogram depicting sea level changes over the past 2.5 million years is seen by moonlight. The stereogram is shown on the same beach for the next 2.5 million years. Indoor venues, copies of the stereogram are viewed mounted to the wall of a small lounge room type set. A satellite transmission of the lunar illumination of the stereogram and the landscape on its first viewing is seen at all the non-site venues. By the relationship of events, sites, and images which comprise `You Are Here,' the viewer is placed at the center of two vast time spans which reach out in opposing directions. !11
