Creating societies between ourselves

Creating social scenes between ourselves

Creating scenes between ourselves assembled from arrangements of fragmented images, overlapping at different scales, from 1:1 scale to parts of miniature social gatherings, living room walls, buildings, settlements, workplaces, towns, city walls, cell walls, immune ststems, transport systems, battles and colonies.

Taking things that we have experienced in different times and places innour lives and arranging them in one space at one time.

Then roleplay as parts of those scenes experiencing and interacting with each other Use our speech and movement captured while role-playing to animate the scene.

To drop off my self is to also drop off the society I have absorbed and now push out onto everyone else.

The aim isn't to create a timeless model of society but to bring these parts to the spaces between us in the scene we're exploring in the here and now to ask the following in relation to both the other images around it in the image field and to what is happening with the people close to them in the scene. - what do you experience, feel, think..? - where do you want to be? - what might you say or do? - where do you move?

I have a theory that white English men internalise colonial and patriarchal society and then project it out into the space between our bodies and other peoples.

When I speak, most of the time im talking in a voice reaching out to 'foreign' others, Speaking into the space of men competing to dominate by telling it how it is Speaking like a diplomatic ambassador, translating our needs into negotiation with foreign others.

Thinking of leos drawings of new types of competitive team games hes inventing and layers in machine learning algorithms.

Thinking of the ways of speaking and holding ourselves we're (white men) trained to use for different situations, the tone of voice we use to.. Convince other groups of men in the pub or the group chat Convince managers at work Explain to a younger colleague how we should do something Convince laura what to do today

The fields im making need to allow people to… - Bring ways of speaking and holding ourselves from other situations, lived and parasocial.

- build societies in the spaces between us, like how kids play.

1. Soldiers fighting,
2. builders building homes and defences.
3. cars and trains moving
4. superheroes helping fighting evil

As disgusting as it is i need to re-buy society of mind. I need to better understand the enemy i have internalised. Minsky is a monster but we white men need to own that, his description of ai as internalisation of capitalist beauracracy just hits the nail on the head of all that is oppressive to us and others about Patricial, colonial and capitalist mindsets.
