an exhibition on the internets
for those of you who aren't in iceland

well, as part of the residency, there is an exhibition at the end of each month. it is a short affair, only for this night, so with this kind of notice, i am afraid that you will not make it in time.
so, i decided that it might be nice to put the exhibit here for you to see. i will have a follow up post to cover the actual physical exhibition, that you might see some of the other work and some people doing strange things, hopefully.
but enough talking. here it is.

games for the whole family

the game of deliberate knowledge

think of something that you don't particularly like about yourself.

change the 'I' to 'he' or 'she' or 'you' -making a new sentence.

say this new sentence quietly with a furrowed brow.

the game of aromatic priorities
what sorts of things or people do you rely on?

imagine a smell that would make you reconsider.

please invent and record the name of this smell.

the game of necessary violence
you are the last fox on the planet.

everyone else is a chicken.

now what?

the game of unwavering faith
this is not a game.

just know that the next thing you hear is not true.

how do you react to someone when you know they are lying?

the game of personal transparency
close your eyes while talking to someone.

picture someone else.

do you notice any change in your patterns of speech or gestures?

if this is not enough, try changing shoes with your conversant.

the game of self ostracization
see how much air you can fit in your mouth.

imagine you always feel like this.

try to do this without anyone seeing you.
