pp. 256. Square 4to., measuring 28 cm tall. Black boards with white lettering and illustration to the spine, and front board. Richly illustrated with in-text, and full page colour illustrations, photographs throughout. No flaws noted: bright, clean, and unmarked with firm, sound binding; fine. Complete with an [unused] embedded USB drive within the front board, beneath the front pastedown. A remarkable and innovative work. Corresponds to OCLC #1268235691. Within this cover lies the Pioneer Works Time Capsule, a USB drive containing 1,518 images. These were collected by the HUQQUH device at random, when viewers plugged their smartphone into the device during the exhibition The Present Is The Form of All Life: The Time Capsules of Ant Farm and LST. The time capsule was sealed on October 16, 2016 at Pioneer Works. As custodian of this time capsule, you should remove the USB drive from the adjacent circle when the value of the past is greater than the value of the present.

Ant Farm’s successor group, LST, has taken up the project with their contemporary work “Ant Farm Media Van v.08 [Time Capsule]” (2008). This work not only functions but updates the original’s line of questioning, exploring notions of the time capsule in the digital age.
The Present Is the Form of All Life represents the first comprehensive documentation of these overlooked ephemeral works. Including many previously unpublished images, this publication also boasts essays by Constance M. Lewallen, Steve Seid and Gabriella Giannachi, and a discussion between curator Rudolf Frieling and LST.
