Carpet Residency
5 videos • 97 views • by niekelis It’s a residency on my long-haired carpet. During it, I explored artificial coincidence as a creativity tool. I never knew in advance when the action will begin. Sometimes I felt it approaching. The residency began as a natural coincidence when the talk show in the background somehow connected with the action I was doing at the time. Other times, I turned on the background text or sound before I started, but I didn’t know what that text or sound would be about. Artificial coincidence causes very similar emotions as natural coincidence. Things that you have been carrying inside for a long time usually come up. And coincidence (artificial or not) becomes a form of accessing them.
