Point and Hope (Prattsville Arts Center 2018)

"Point and Hope" is project of self-dialogue about the philosophic themes contained within Jan Zwicky's "Wisdom and Metaphor."  Key nouns, adjectives, verbs and directives were extracted from this text and fed into Ableton Live.  I would then begin a conversation with myself, and activate a random part of speech during my monologue, thereby forcing my thinking/speaking to encounter ideas and lines of thought that I would not normally consider.  "Point and Hope" is inspired by Alessandro Bosetti's "Mask/Mirror."
