Duchâteau's dejected sci - fi probes are the detritus of uncertain fantasies,
a constant vacillation between the threat of technological power, the impotence of technological failure, and the inability to distinguish them.
The work accesses narrative potential and emotional energy in
a constant vacillation between specific references (Chris Montez, an earplug, a hand) and ambiguity (ADD A MARK, an abstract blob of clay), functionality (a period acts like a period) and abstraction (a period is a circle, a dot, a shape, the sound «ooo».)
