The artists in Dark Flow Lurking are dogged by their art historical reflections, reencountering the Mirror Stage on every surface and in every critical conversation. They understand ontology is its extrapolation and annihilation as a transfer of gravity. For Bataille as well as Dark Flow Lurking, "it is possible to assume that the object of any affective reaction is necessarily heterogeneous." Dark Flow Lurking digests both the picture plane and liminal shuttle as windows into outer spaces. The artists point to new bodies of work like black holes rendered visible by the spiraling gas of a neighboring star.
