Event

Untitled Consciousness Project

Through the performance event, Untitled Consciousness Project, Patricia Faolli, Magali Wilensky and Jason Schuler are exploring ways for audiences to awaken inner resources through a series of participatory activities that share elements common to altered states of consciousness.

The piece is a kind of Exploratorium that combines a central, meditative performance around which are a number of one-on-one, interactive stations. Each station helps to shift participants' perceptions of themselves, space-time, and reality.

The goal of the event is to engineer an altered state of consciousness in participants that mirrors a kind of postmodern vision quest (inspired by rites of passage, as well as hypnosis, meditation, sensory deprivation, and hallucinatory experiences). The artists are interested in creating an experience that might encourage an enlightened experience, sense of self-awareness and/or agency that reflects positively onto participants' daily lives.

The world is so much stranger and more wonderful than anything we could share in performance, but hopefully along the way, this experience will provide a sense of interconnectedness that visitors and artists alike all may take back into our daily lives.
