Reuben Telushkin: Shadow + Substance presents kinetic sculptures that explore how feedback loops, encryption, and iteration in Black cultural production foreshadow formal elements of programming and digital culture. Large-scale wood joinery and metal frames support electronic motors that drive 3D-printed gears pushing quilted textiles in perpetual circular flow — each quilt a sequence of encrypted code constructed through block-printed, embroidered, and sewn components repeating a hand-rendered character alphabet at random. Taking its title from Sojourner Truth's words at the base of her iconic portrait — "I sell the shadow to support the substance" — the exhibition confronts the materiality of data and honors what Truth long understood: to affect power, messages must travel.
