after the fact

By creating body-devices - gentle mutations, body alterations and scars, we bring attention to our embodied-ness to remind us of an inner state and encourage magical thinking. The resulting forms emerge from an investigation of the body, their functionality is being determined through use. Initial outcomes are currently being tested to ascertain if this is an appropriate approach to encourage and support magical thinking, and to plumb people’s willingness to imagine through the body in movement.

Magic Machine

We build fantastical machines out of paper, cardboard, wood, string and plastic. As we build, we query the machines and listen to them: What does it do and what does it sound like?
