A laser-engraved marble slab bears screenshots of simulated solar storms and blackout scenarios and is combined with two black silicone whip-shaped anal plugs. Centimeter scales along their shafts transfer human systems of measurement and comparison onto the body, while the limp, phallic forms echo the eruptive movement of the engraved solar storms. Oscillating between measuring instrument, body, and whip, they translate cosmic forces to a human scale without rendering them controllable. black memory I [distorted lashing coordinates] collapses cosmic, technological, and bodily forces into the same regime of measurement and loss of control.
