From the 2009 Annual exhibition catalog, COCA Seattle:
Larson and Shindelman's photographs exercise a eerier approach through the act of locating and documenting the location from which a specific Twitter message was sent. Both artists work with surveillance and alientation through familiar platforms (the video, the photograph) but it's not about the artist - it's about what Everyone Else is Doing and Who is Watching them Do It.

"Sprawling Out in Dallas" by John Aasp
Review of our artist lecture at the National SPE conference in Dallas, TX, from Afterimage, Vol. 36, No. 6
"Marni Shindelman and Nate Larson took this one step further with one of the best presentations of the conference, "Witness: A Psychic Collaboration." Citing an investigation of extra-sensory perception that was sponsored by the United States government in the 1980s, they examined the "Stargate Project" and create images and writings as a result of their own experimentation with its methods. What happened was again a playful interaction with pseudo-science, photography, and art. Whether the collaboration failed in its psychic attempts was not the point; rather, the resulting material Larson presented was unpretentious and hilarious. After an initial evaluation of some of their remote viewing experiments (that were sometimes congruent, other times unclear), Shindelman later re-paired some of the objects and images from a curatorial perspective, and the result was fascinating. For those of us who enjoy serendipitous association, it was reassuring to see how simple curiosity can evolve into a thoughtful collaboration and tear through the standard limitations of photography and academia."
