The work consists of a 32-unit Pixel Box wall with cinemascope proportions, which plays a two-part color sequence. The first half of the sequence is a pixelated video footage shot at The Artist’s Palette in Death Valley, Califonia. Angela Bulloch shot the footage from a moving vehicle “to capture the sense of a landscape rushing past”. The second half is based on the rotated cosmological horizon lines in the psychedelic stargate scene in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

"The stargate scene shows two seemingly infinite planes of exposure rushing past but instead of going across the picture plan from left right, the landscapes come straight at you in a stream of whirling lights and colors. This sequence was made from a combination of aerial landscape footage overlaid with brightly colored chemicals interacting. The horizon is visible in the first part and therefore you gain a sense of gravity and orientation, which is lost again in the following part of the piece. The ground falls away and the experience becomes somehow extra-terrestrial."
