Gavin Gamboa – Cybism Dreams

I view the pieces of this album leaf as depicting early refrains of the collective unconscious' proto-understanding of the Cybist impulse, perhaps encapsulated in people's dreams of the future, or in their desires of the present … imaginings which were never fully articulated or known by anyone to whom they occurred. I imagine ideas such as these as being absorbed back into the froth and chaos of history, disappearing, then reemerging and brought to fruition by others who are at a distant remove from the primary dreamers, tinkerers, and visionaries. While focused primarily on an America of the early 20th century and pointed towards Cybism, one comes to recognize this process playing out across all of history, as these yearnings of a collective unconsciousness materialize at some distant point from their origination.
