SUMMER 2011: UNCOMMON

Detroit, MI
Presented July 16 & 17 2011, at Highland Park Festival.

When we perceive the remarkable or not usually encountered we try to
reconcile it with the previously stored information about the world
that we have built up as a result of experience. This is an active
two-way process of fitting our perceptions into our past experiences
and fitting our past experiences into a world that also includes our
current perceptions. When this is applied to developments that have no
precedent we are at a loss. In attempting to reconcile seemingly
disparate perceptions with lived experience we realize seeing is not
necessarily believing. In ‘Uncommon’ artists explore visions and
perceptions of science, nature and the environment as we find, imagine
and make them.
