Hi Rachel,

I guess rockets are in some way new media. The Panamint Launch at Lucky
Jim Wash was a site-specific performance that took place during the NATO
war against Yugoslavia in 1999. The concept was to launch rockets against
a US military installation in the US. When you see the rockets, you will
understand it as, well, conceptual. It turns out that China Lake Naval
Weapons Station has a kind of soft, poorly defined border for those hiking
near its very rural borders - and security forces that are known to make
somewhat arbitrary decisions about what constitutes tresspassing - so to
this day we are not sure how close we were or if any rockets landed over
the border… particularly mine, which went badly off course.
