"Lucky Lindy"
is first ever to fly a heavier-than-air machine non-stop
and solo from North America to continental Europe.
During a thirty-three and one-half hour crossing,
Lindy fights fatigue and more than a few moments of doubt, and electrifies
the world by his remarkable triumph of technology and human spirit.

solo spirit
attempts to re-create conceptually Lindbergh's sense of adventure,
wonder, and doubt. This work is a virtual flight of fancy into
the mind of the man.
solo spirit receives data transmitted
simultaneously from servers located in New York and Paris, the
1927 departure and arrival points. Data is presented in the work
as Lindy's thoughts.
Subject to any number of technical
difficulties, we are no more certain today of a successful
crossing than Lindbergh could have been seventy-two years
ago, but... we won't die if we crash.

With thanks.
