Separating
the Subject
The
primary intent of this residency is to facilitate a dialogue
which separates and differentiates the concept of subjectivity
from the concept of consciousness. |

Mute
Presence
In
this residency, participants will consider communication
as a material site. When so defined, this “site”
- rather than merely creating or facilitating "understanding"-
instead becomes a locus where we can enact translations
and transformations. |
