I forgot who's the artist who made this video, but to me it links to the feeling I wrote about at the image of the Chinese newspaper. This feeling of being lost, and knowing what is going on, but not completely, because there's too much happening around us to really get a grip on it.

It's in Dutch (sorry) but I had to think of this lil text I wrote (be)for(e) The Woman as a Kitchentable when I just read the meeting notes

A page from 1 of 2 publications accompanying the show ‘Double Dropping on a Phantom Island’ by Michaela Cullen and Declan Colquitt.
Nice in relation to image hierarchy & value etc

# data[].attributes.body
Hierarchy in images, what they mean to us, how they influence each other?

Research, scientific approach, how can this enhance / break down an artwork, or empower it / give it value?

‘If you can measure it, it’s more valuable’

The value of images, how do we divide what is valuable to us from what isn’t, and how we connect with this and position ourselves with it.

How we are personally influenced by images around us.

Engaging against contemporary political consensus; science is questioned, art is questioned, even images and how we see them is being questioned.

The way we approach spectators; Translating initial feelings into an experience for someone else

‘More poetic than activism’

Feelings from layers of images

Unconscious affecting of experience.

Literal, personal translations of our thoughts / experiences from flickers of time.

Our connection to something experienced by everyone.

Doing these things because we care; not just because we want to show something, not because we need a thing to make work about; something we would like to see changed, or something we criticise.

Doing something to force a change.

Indirect activism.

Protesting the way they sell the power plant to our mind, not the power plant – activism of the mind.

Facilitate a space where people can create their own thoughts on a subject, without being told what the think; ownership of the thought.

Using the group to help guide each other and the work we are creating; are things making sense / working?

Authorship

Yeah so I brought this newspaper to the table last meeting, I thought it was very interesting in a few aspects - the photograph, telling us the whole story (this is clearly about brexit) - but the text for people who don't read Chinese is totally incomprehensible... This frontpage feels a bit like the event it's portraying, the impossibility to read what is actually going on, while it provides the possibility for us all to understand just enough. To me this seems methaphorical to what is happening a lot in our daily lives when it comes to consuming information - there's too much input to really know a lot about everything, instead we know a little about a lot, which provides a lot of room for misinterpretation and manipulation.

So we also spoke about perhaps having a soundtrack in the space, that runs continuously and therefor connects to all the works. This is just a sample that was quite funny and fitting we found on a voice-actor website. I still think it can be an interesting idea, to make a voice-over of the statement (or whatever) that connects the works in the exhibition.
