…making the invisible visible…


And so we move onto exhibitions. All too often the resting place of research by design. Most function as tired and tested scripts that we continue act out. Again, our criticality is directed away from the immediate fissure between the opposing realities of intent and action. Instead it beams out towards followers and a public equally eager for change.

We need to channel our efforts and not publish them. Again the octopus comes into play. Let’s treat its head/main body as the educational institution. A place that we historically thought knowledge resided and was created. Though through examination and tests of creativity it was discovered that of the octopus’s 500,000,000 neurons only one third are found in their brains, with the majority in their eight tentacles. This allows them to think with and through them, with each one capable of making independent decisions. An approach like this flattens the hierarchies because the body collaborates independently. Collaboration means trust and trust dissolves hierarchies.

…a series of diverse perspectives, joined together by the shared desire to understand the human condition, and move in the direction of greater freedom. Rather than be based on the need to prove others’ fundamental assumptions wrong, it seeks to find particular projects on which they reinforce each other.
