Gregory Riches has drilled peepholes in a false
wooden front, painted black and white, in the former Golden Diamond on
the south side of 42nd Street. Looking in, you spy a complex set of
overlays symbolizing the technological evolution from the industrial
to the computer age, and beyond. There are images of computer
circuits, machine-made parts and industrial labor, as well as
information strips providing statistics comparing 1892 to 1992. Called
AND OR NOT, RIches suggests that we have the tools to deal with a
great number of matters. Will their combined strength be used to solve
our social and environmental problems, some of which they helped
create?
