Thesis Peer Group: Valentine’s Day Special

Really enjoyed hearing everyone’s topics evolve and the opportunity to give ideas and feedback on the projects.

After my last Rothberg meeting, the idea came up of focusing on my body of work, looking for themes. Do I have my own manifesto or can I articulate what my existing work is about? Why am I interested in this work?

Phenomenon: Moment of creation, relationship with the work (willfulness, surrender, creation) – a very hallucinogenic- or spiritual-like phenomenon of relational emergence.

In the past I’ve used the term “generative containers”, emergent spaces, or womb-like space where art / life is created.

I’m fascinated with getting closer to the present moment, the now, the moment where life is emerging, being created, to bring myself and others out of their heads and into this emergent moment.

Interactive work → a type of art that affords this type of live, in the moment, emergent relationship with the viewer.

Could some of my work be making a song in real-time in front of others, them watching the creative process? I’m doing this daily for 50 days, but like usual, only posting the result, not the process or moment of creation.
