The Knotted Line is an interactive, tactile laboratory for exploring the historical relationship between freedom and confinement in the geographic area of the United States. The project features artist and project director Evan Bissell’s miniature paintings of over 50 historical moments from 1945 to 2025, set within a fluid interface that entices users to “tear open” the fabric of history to reveal its interconnecting threads.
