"this special edition of the cd view was created for an exhibition at the jennjoy gallery in san francisco in 1999. the idea was to create a multiple inspired by the ephemeral object qualities of aspen magazines, joseph cornell, and the sms editions. the box contained the regular edition of the cd along with a fragment of the original audio tape source material of sounds from the window of the gallery recorded by jenn, a small found object from the street that the window faced from the gallery, a text printed on a piece of typing paper that came from architect richard neutra's office, and an original drawing done in the manner of harry bertoia's monotypes (the drawing being pressed onto the paper by facing the paper to a piece of glass spread with ink and "drawing" with the sharp end of a nail on the back side of the paper, which when lifted contains the image). some objects are in little bags, and the print was archivally matted. the box and print mat measure approx. 7" square."
(Steve Roden)

Not mentioned in the text: the box contains also a unique photograph showing a view from the gallery window.

The box set as a whole has no catalogue number, the included CD has the catalogue number of the regular edition.
