Objects On My Dresser, Phase 2: Psycho-Aesthetics Dynamics was first shown at 80 Langton Street (later New Langton Arts) in San Francisco, in 1980.

Rapoport’s installation included the original tansu with the objects as well as the printouts from Pictorial Linguistics that represented her computational process.

It was during this phase that Rapoport first developed and deployed the Netweb, a spider web plot with six radial axes, each labeled with idiosyncratic categories that emerged during her discussions with Winifred De Vos; Threading, Masking, Moving, Hand, Chest, and Eye.

The 30 objects from her dresser and the 30 correlated objects were photographed, copied, labeled and attached to mobile cardboard stands. These were to become more important as the project progressed, as they offered a medium for interacting with participants.

Selection of Object Cards, 1980. Photocopy on paper mounted on cardboard stand, approx. 6.25W x 8H inches each. Quenza Collection.

The Netweb installation on the floor in the center of the space represents Rapoport’s personal associations between the categories and objects - an autobiographical analysis.
