Stacked risograph on paper, band, acrylic case, printed by Special Effects.

Gyre (Typhon) is a speculative paper currency pegged to the Gyre index which tracks shadow economies, visualizing symbolic quasi- and hyper-objects that we interface with knowingly and unknowingly: dark pools, the Falcon and its widening gyre, the Typhon. The currency is derrived from printing plates by Benzel and references the process of the artist/counterfeiter played by Willem Dafoe in To Live and Die in L.A. (1985), the mythical chimera the Basilisk, the closed time-like curves of a Gödel universe, and the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 as imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope.

Risograph-printed in Midnight, Light Gray, White, Yellow, Blue, and Violet inks on Neenah Astroparche Gray 60t.

Banded stacks bound with Neenah UV Ultra II and enclosed in an acrylic case.
