In the Stay Gold series (started in 2015), the artist uses a nineteenth century Jacquard tapestry machine, or loom, to translate 1950s computer programme punch cards. A constant in Gil’s work, this flow between different technologies weaves a web of formal contingencies between different historical moments that turn out to be closer than might be expected. The result is an image of fragmented time, a sort of network of connections between different bodies.
