                  Objective 
                    reality, representation, and virtual simulation are juxtaposed 
                    and intertwined in this meditation on the apple created for 
                    a conference on the intersection of art and science held at 
                    a university research institute specialized in agronomy and 
                    ecological issues. The installation is set up near large bay 
                    windows offering a superb view of the institute’s apple 
                    orchards—a view blocked, à la Magritte, by a 
                    screen on which live closed circuit television images of the 
                    same trees is to be seen. Facing the screen is another screen—a 
                    computer screen on which is displayed the artist’s web 
                    site devoted it the apple, which includes a virtual tree whose 
                    apples the viewer is invited to pick.
