The plaques Ligon installed in public spaces looked like historical markers in tourist areas of the city but they were inscribed with ephemeral memory traces of cruising and desire.

I love this quote from @andycampy.bsky.social on the series: “Because the connect-the-dot designs are left unconnected, they function as spaces for imaginative and wild projection […] The numbers on this field of erotic possibility are always becoming, and bristling with potential”.

Sameshima’s Numbers series is based on the connect the dots pages in 70’s/80’s Drummer magazines, where readers could follow the numbers to get a final pornographic image. John Klamik designed the original erotic dots. They’re also a nod to the canonical cruising novel Numbers by John Rechy (1967).
