I am curious about and questioning language and communication, what is deemed to be digestible and understood as the best way to try and know someone, or to connect. I am questioning the vastness of language and communication, and how there are multiple, various modes in which something is being communicated, in which something is trying to be expressed, yet is not being noticed or witnessed. Within the internal and external in relationship to consumerism and language and communication, I am further examining manipulation; Mass media and advertisement produces symbols and concepts that grab the societal eye with easily digestible language and communication within the systems of manipulation, capitalism, and consumerism.
I want to disrupt symbols and codes in place.
I want to imagine and manifest a perception and expression of a world where the unconscious, free flowing self can spill and spread and unleash.
I want to unmake sense.
I want to question systems in place in everyday consumerist life by disrupting and reassembling these systems.
I want to go where I am.
I want to go to the places I have always lived in.
In conversation with my questions of language and visibility, I am looking to the video project, How Not to Be Seen | A Fucking Didactic Educational (see citations list). What interests me is the point made in the video that, “Resolution determines visibility.” “It calibrates the world as a picture.” I have been drawn towards zooming into fragments of landscapes, captured from the perspective of being on a plane, within the vastness of space. I have been drawn towards grid patterns, lines, and levels that are drawn and that imprint into the vastness of space. Within this space for me becomes a digital, virtual like space that can be bent, mushed, and zoomed in and in and in, getting deeper and deeper into the multifaceted meat of the material, and of what could become visible. I am curious of and am playing with the vastness of space, and content that can be created into space, or content that can be zoomed into space.
I am intrigued by how colors can textualize and communicate a feeling, a statement, a way to connect with language and emotion. The fabrics communicate, contain and consume.
I’m interested in the multiple layers of the body and self and space, such as clothing over skin over fascia over muscles over guts over veins over deeper and deeper layers that are all simultaneously here, and how these functions and layers relate, converse, express, and reveal.
what if I told you you cannot define anything?
are you here? where are you? where do you want to be?
you can be where you want to be...
forget about your face.....
feel the tips of your fingers
where [[[process]]]
This process lives in the multiple, in the chaotically organized, practices of play and in-the-moment disruption of in-the-motions routine programming, tapping into the inner child, the rage and surrendering, the improvising.
Practices//Processes include
moshing,
responding to and embodying layered codes of soundscapes,
creating space around and of the body,
exploring how clothes affect the skin and layers within,
transferring the pressure of the feet soles touching the floor to the entire body touching space,
juxtaposition of textures,
floor imprint,
trampoline cloud modality,
rhythm echo,
internal rhythm,
space hold body parts,
launch pad weight element,
mapping and building momentum of multiple dimensions,
and omnipresence.
This work is drawn to contraptions that the body can play on, merge with, and test; a park, architectural industrial buildings, rooftops of parking garages, stairs, skateparks//. This process formulates a community project, a gathering, a party.
This process is not always planned, but sometimes formulates and happens in the moment, in real time and unobserved time, in real life and unobserved life, which creates a gathering of community, of collective individuality, of togetherness within change, difference, and simultaneous presence.
