1 People Experiencing the Spatial Indentation of the Canyons

Water cuts a path through land over millions of years. What if humans could leave our path imprinted on our built environments, on our own time scale, just like a water droplet? As you move through the gallery, tracing your own footsteps again and again, you dig a canyon into the earth. In mere minutes, you impact your environment the way water has impacted the world over millennia.
