DATA SHADOW

Consisting of a preface and five sequences of ten 14-liners, stripped from medical, economic and political contexts and sutured into apparent syntactic continuity, Data Shadow has since been collected in Tony Lopez's False Memory (Salt Publishing, 2003), the larger project of which it is part.
