Malik McKoy: Speed Run
January 31, 2025 - March 23, 2025
Opening Reception: Winter ARTcrawl Friday, January 31, 2025 from 8:00 - 9:00 pm
Utilizing digital media such as animation and augmented reality, Malik Mckoy's Speed Run transports you light-years away, immersing you in the galaxy's center. However, you're not alone. You discover a being latched onto a spacecraft in an effort to save themselves and their lonely planet from being vacuumed into the ever-present black hole. Stars whizz by, receding into the distance while the gravitational pull forces them to converge in the abyss. The spacecraft's engine manages to keep all parties suspended in space while 72% of the continuum has already vanished.
How much longer can they hold on?
Will the fuel run out?
Will the event ever cease?
