July, 1869
John A. Roebling loses his life while attempting to fix the exact location for the Brooklyn Tower of the Bridge. His son Washington Roebling fulfills his father’s dream, completing both the Bridge and the aforesaid secret monastic enclosure, which he and Hildebrand build single-handedly in order to ensure secrecy . The Chamber is sealed in the manner of Ancient Egyptian tombs to safeguard it from plunderers and, also, to bypass having to file for a 401C.

The North Stone Chamber (recently stumbled upon by a small child searching for his lost slinky and mistaking the Anchorage for Fort Da) has been uncovered to reveal the robot wizards, alive, and still as busy as bees. Now you and your family can witness the gathering of robotic entities of varied places, times and orientations who continue to archive, display and interpret our past, present and future.

‘Where the Sea Stands Still’ is a poetic sequence by the contemporary Chinese poet, Yang Lian. John Cayley has worked it into a ‘performance hypertext.’ Yang and Cayley will perform live against a projected text which plots its own pathway through the sequence, “as words and images collide and weave together in a network of poetic meaning.”

The previously published paperbound version of ‘Where the Sea Stands Still’ (parallel text) is available from the ICA Bookstore at £3.50, or direct from the publisher, WellSweep, 1 Grove End House, 150 Highgate Road, London NW5 1PD, (0171) 267 3525, ws@shadoof.demon.co.uk.

There will be a Web version of the piece, at the ICA web site <http://www.illumin.co.uk/ica/>. This will be online by the date...
