Here is a text about the world... from artist Diana Thater, is a video exhibition about chess and falconry. It is actually a convergence of two separate exhibitions which, according to Thater, is pure coincidence. The exhibit features videos of famous chess games, including a recreation of the famous "Immortal Game", played in 1851 by Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky. Besides these notorious matches, Thater also pays tribute to Lewis Carroll, playing out Alice's chess problem from "Through the Looking Glass". In conjunction with the chess exhibit is also another video installation about falconers and falconry.
