This piece, installed for several months in front of the Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois, is now being rebuilt for an installation in a residential neighborhood in Urbana, IL. The dice are covered with AIDS statistics, everything from deaths to infection rates to the impact of orphans and economic ruin on world security and terrorist threats. They are only visible in the dots. The piece is also a reference to Einstein’s quote, “God does not play dice with the universe.” But if he doesn’t, then how do we account for our luck and others’ misfortune? And how do we do anything to change things? This piece was our most interactive to date, with viewers constantly moving and playing with the incredibly light dice. It is also what inspired, to some extent, our apparel line, and is similar to where we hope to go in the future with our work.
