Brian Piana, “The Last 100 Offenders Executed in Texas (Who They Were and What They Said)” (2006) inkjet print
This piece is a visualization of the State of Texas Death Row website, which was a structural mess in 2006. This abstracted site map presents the column list of executed offenders and links to their individual profiles and last statement. Only the last 100 of the approximately 350 offenders that had been executed at that time are represented. Five years later, the number of executed offenders is 466.

About me
"Whereas in the darkness of the slumbering consciousness, in the silence that is created by the numbness of all the faculties of undersanding, we turn an ear to this music which had not put an end to itself but must be the calm of the closed consciousness, whereas we doze, back supported by the corner of the train door, to listen, our twilit consciousness bent over it like over a shellfish our ear, our ear voluptuously squashed in that moment against the hard and shifting upholstery of the train is struck dully by the forte and intermittent tempo of the dull cadence of the train."
