Only a footnote by David Foster Wallace could inspire a constellation of artists and filmmakers to make real what was dreamt. The complete filmography of James O. Incandenza appears in in the author's Rube Goldberg of a novel, Infinite Jest, and details 70-plus works (conceptual, technical, non-commercial, etc.) by the novel's avant-gardist — it's his eponymous film that causes those who see it to lose interest in all else. The videos are on display throughout gallery hours, and should be complex, parodic, prosaic, poetic — in other words, that catalog of adjectives used to describe its rich source.
