Weight of God began as a conversation between Nita
Sturiale and Jane D. Marsching via an exchange of URLs over the course
of three months in 2005. The conversation began with the intention of
answering the questions what is the relationship betwen the brain and
God? The conversation's URLs were mapped in a basic UML program and then
translated into a physical installation in which viewers could press large
fuzzy buttons connected to the computer via a pic chip that would prompt
the computer to load the website on the screen. The chalk and wire drawing
attempts to visualize the conversation in nodes organized in 3 levels,
with the top level containing the primary nodes: brain/god, lives, natural
phenomena, and mapping.
